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,

Regards,
Amy
