nobody seems to be giving you a frank answer... let me call it as it is.. first off, im a jersey resident all my life(montgomery/hillsboro/belleville and now union)... growing till now, plainfield has note been known for good schools and low crime rate... in fact it got pretty bad there at some point in past but possibly it has improved now(haven't been in touch)... i guess there are pockets of good areas but it would depend where those pockets are located... dont know what your price range is or your family situation but there are plenty of towns a couple mile up 22 East and couple miles down 22 West that you should consider... many of them have access to railways... since commute to nyc seems to be a priority, you should base you search on proximity to the city... plainfield is close but there are much closer and better towns - Wed Aug 27 2008, 14:15
