Oakland could be the best fit for you. Oakland NJ was just ranked #43 in the country by Business Week in November 2007 as one of best communities to raise a family. Oakland schools are excellent, Oakland is right down the road from Ramapo College, and while Oakland doesn't have a train station in town, we do have NJ Transit for bus service. For train lines to Hoboken, there is a newer hub on Rt. 17 in Ramsey that offers plenty of parking. The home price of $500,000 - $550,000 for a 3/4 bedroom home is also very reasonable - you should be able to find the perfect home for you and your family. Oakland is slated for a downtown improvement - the goal is to give the downtown area a facelift and make it more pedestrian-friendly. I'm the broker/owner of the RE/MAX Traditions Real Estate office located in downtown Oakland, and have been the #1 Realtor in Oakland NJ since 2000. Please visit my web site at
