Good to know. We actually like Rockaway so might stick to focusing there!

He actually doesn't mind as he might leave his job. We decided together it's not the highest priority. The reason we're considering Dover is because it is close to our folks not the other way around actually

Yeah we suspected. My partner was excited about the prices so I reached out for due diligence. It's a more humble neighborhood from what we can tell and we like diversity so these things were attractive to us. Knowing it's lower priced without understanding what exact factors contribute makes it hard to parse through. Like schools are important to us so it's definitely a factor. Safety and quality of life are as well.

I appreciate that! We actually are looking in Rockaway but were wondering if Dover was also a good candidate. The other factor is that the more West we go, the farther we are from our folks. We're actually focusing in on central Morris county I think for the most part. Thanks for the input!

My partner does a few times a week. It's not the highest priority but a consideration. This location is also closer to our folks. Thanks for the input. Is it the schools?

Lol well can't hate on the Sopranos

Cheap housing quite honestly. The market is slim pickings with high demand low supply. We're trying to open up which towns we're looking in to increase options.

Oh interesting. Thanks for the info!

Interesting! Do you use the airport? I've only used Newark myself if in Jersey.

Ah yes we were wondering how easy it was to get into the city. Glad to know there are plenty of buses available. Thanks for the info!

This is really helpful!! Thanks for the info. I'll also take a good look at the thread you linked
