You have many options available to you within an hour commute of Bergen county and also in Bergen County. What you first need to define is what type of housing and community you would like to immerse yourself in - what kind of lifestyle are you seeking? Would you like the privacy and responsibiltiy of a single family home or would a development or complex with other people close by suit you better? Are schools important to you, either for you, your family, or resale? Are taxes an issue of consideration for you? Every home you look at will have trade-offs in benefits and issues for you to consider. An experienced Realtor who knows the area well can quickly help you determine viable options to best serve your needs and wishes. I live in and work this area full time and am happy to address any of your specific questions or concerns. I have a library of specific community and school information and links on this area on my website. Good luck to you with best wishes. - Sun Jan 11 2009, 06:46
