I am not sure what you want. The crime rate is higher than West Orange, Montclair and surrounding communities mentioned in other posts. The schools are not as good. The rents are cheaper. Real estate is less expensive too.
I hope you will drive though and around these communities on your own so you can determine where you want to live.
West Orange and Bloomfield seem like good options and are lower priced than Montclair, safer and decent schools.

No they are telling you West Orange and Bloomfield are better priced and safer than Montclair, not than E Orange.

I lived in South Orange for 10 years and I worked part time in East Orange then. Then I lived 20 years in Maplewood and the last 3 in West Orange. My children went to the South Orange/Maplewood school system. I never lived in Montclair but am pretty familiar with the Oranges.
