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.

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!

750-800k. Yeah that’s what I was afraid of (paying more for less house). Other people have suggested long valley as well. Just wanted to make sure it’s a great school district. Any other recommendations?

Yeah probably the easiest solution. Are you from that area?

Thanks!! We’re from Bergen county originally so I know that area well. Nice place to move just more of a commute from Hackettstown. I’ll take a look though!

Not looking for upscale look at all, just the best school districts. Thanks for the suggestions!

750-800k is our budget. Yeah we really don’t want to move to such a pricey area but we’re just trying to find the best school districts for the kids. Originally from NJ actually, moved to pa for fellowship, then pandemic hit and really messed up job market in nj and we’re finally looking into moving back to be closer to family.
