Reply to comment by jarofpickles89 in Ideal place to move with great school district within 30-40 min of Hackettstown? by njhelpplease

Thanks for the thoughtful response! Yeah we were looking into Chester as well and others here have suggested Long Valley. We have friends who live in Bridgewater and they love it. Clinton was suggested as well but I wasn’t sure how much it floods in that area close to the water. I really appreciate your help! We’re originally from Bergen county so I had never heard of Mendham and some of these morris county towns so it’s nice to get a good perspective from you. Thanks!

I’m in Bridgewater. Multiple kids through the school district and we have been very happy here. I do wish at times it was more woodsy/remote (like Long Valley) but everything by is a trade off. You can get a very lovely house in your price range, and the schools are solid.

Actually my friends house in bridgewater has a nice woodsy area behind the backyard but that comes with its cons also (worrying about ticks when the kids play too close to that area). But yeah great neighborhood and schools.

I mean the general area … hiking etc. much more persevered space or at least open space for that sort of thing west of me. yeah up off Washington valley road is wooded. That’s where I am too.
