that keeps that schedule comfortable. Others simply want the peace of knowing the city is within reach when needed. Think about how much this flexibility matters to your lifestyle.
A Tale of Two Towns
Consider two New Jersey towns that sit roughly the same distance from New York City.
Town A:
• High taxes • Good schools
• Charming downtown • Beautiful older homes • Limited parking • Smaller lots • Busy neighborhoods • Heavy demand
Town B:
• Lower taxes • Excellent schools • Larger lots
• Newer homes • Quiet streets • Still close to highways and transit • More privacy • Also high demand
Many people assume Town A is always more desirable because it offers charm and convenience. But when they compare pricing and taxes, they often realize Town B offers better long term value, lower monthly costs, and a more relaxed lifestyle.
