Hi Jen,
I'm a Realtor with Burgdorff in Maplewood, and although Maplewood/South Orange offers one of the best/shortest commutes (via NJ transit, mid-town direct, roughly 30 minutes to NY Penn) it's going to be tough given your budget and expectations. I would check out West Orange. There is a great townhouse on the market in the mid $200K's with a NYC bus stop right there. Please get in touch with me if you would like more information.
Good luck!

Hi Janadeen,
I'm a Realtor with Burgdorff in Maplewood/South Orange, and the short answer I often give is that our property taxes are the premium we pay for living close to NYC (30 minutes on NJ Transit mid-town direct) and having great schools. We lived in Bklyn for a decade and thought about buying a beautiful home in Ditmas Park and sending our 2 kids to private school, but at the end of the day, we thought the quality of life would be better here in Maplewood, NJ, and I'm happy to say it's been five years and we were right. If you are interested in this area, please check out my website, www.amypaternite.com. I would be more than happy to show you around.

Hi Lucy,
After a decade in Bklyn, we made the move to Maplewood and love it. There are so many Bklyn/NYC transplants here that Maplewood has been referred to as Park Slope West! The great thing about the schools here is that depending on where you live, your child is zoned for one of the 5 elementary schools in the South Orange/Maplewood school district. You don't have to apply to a specific school and you won't be shut out. Also, be prepared for the lovely property tax bill which is basically the price you pay for living close to NYC and having great schools! Please visit my website to learn more about this great community, and please get in touch with me if you would like more information. Good luck!
