Commuting is serious business

 A recent article by The Washington Post explained how "a mega commuter with a 90-minute commute is spending three hours a day on the road. That works out to more than a full month out of the year commuting." Not surprisingly, families look closely at the commute to New York City when comparing northern New Jersey towns, and access to the Midtown Direct train line is often a prime point of differentiation when deciding to buy a home.

Along the Midtown Direct route, the commute into New York City is one hour or less. As a result, these communities are commuter havens and magnets for families looking to access the city while maintaining a high-quality life that includes access to the top-rated schools characteristic of these suburbs.
