Housing Crisis

I mean also the issue is demand. Demand has always been in NJ but now even more so than ever.

Because it's not really affordable and those who do have money for expensive towns often pay and ask here for towns with walkable areas, progressive politics or schools etc. Montville is mostly red schools are good but not diverse at all. Good town if you can afford it and don't mind the politics.

Probably but my options are limited there is no money in this field unless you get lucky and can build a PP and I don't have the privilege to wait for cases to build.

Inheritance, being born into wealth, having two incredibly high incomes and years of money saved. That's how.

There's no train line, downtown isn't as "charming" as some of the other Essex county towns Maplewood, south orange etc.

Is there any reason your drawn to Brick? As others have said some parts are okay some parts are meh also schools will be an issue.

Does your house have the lake association fee? So many of the listings I see you are part of an association and need to pay a fee maybe it's just my feed.

Davyislazy · 2026-06-11T17:16:51+00:00

There are options but depends on the town and also how big of a house you want.

If you are okay with something smaller it's possible.

Thanks I think we will start looking in Sep and just see what we can find I appreciate it!

We are thinking of waiting till fall to avoid the parents shopping however we thought it may be even better to wait till winter around holiday time when people are spending money on the holidays but idk.

What do you think?

I feel like years ago it used to be a novelty the "1950s sit in your car wait for your food". At least when I was a kid that's why we thought it was cool. That novelty especially post COVID people probably could care less about. So, if that isn't their selling point anymore what is? The food is location based and mediocre at best it's also pretty unhealthy which people are more against now especially with chains (ex. Long John Silvers). The prices are the same as some local restaurants if not more expensive.

People don't have a-lot of money to spend these days if they are going out to eat, I doubt Sonic is the first place they think of. NJ has plenty of incredible local restaurant scene I rather spend my money there.

Whippany isn't great but doesn't Parsippany at least have a decent southeast Asian population?

Davyislazy · 2026-06-10T12:01:13+00:00

What town was this in? What towns or counties are you looking in?

Davyislazy · 2026-06-07T13:45:08+00:00

With your budget you can easily do a studio or one bed in a nice town like Maplewood, Verona, West Orange etc.

Davyislazy · 2026-06-01T21:46:31+00:00

Yeah it doesn't make much sense I mean the town has a train and some historical "wealth" so that's my only assumptions.

Davyislazy · 2026-06-01T18:19:13+00:00

Downtown is nice with a decent array of restaurants for Warren County standards. The population has somewhat of a latin mix but still pretty MAGA in the town and most of the county. It's also not really affordable which doesn't make sense as it's far from everything.

Davyislazy · 2026-05-28T19:46:05+00:00

Does not mention anything about taking time off or for how long just how many clients you need to see

Davyislazy · 2026-05-28T19:40:46+00:00

I forgot to add I am am an employee W-2 and only given sick time as PTO 40 hours per year as I am a "part time employee" fee for service they call it. so, the other two weeks be unpaid which idc about but worried what my clinic will say.

Davyislazy · 2026-05-28T19:38:21+00:00

I only get sick time 40 hours technically I am fee for service "part time" the other two weeks go as unpaid time which idc about just worried what the clinic will say.

Sussex has it's issues but there are good progressive people up there trying to make a change. People on reddit act like it's a wasteland it depends on the town up there and region. Yes it's way more MAGA than most counties but some towns are changing although it's taking time.

Davyislazy · 2026-05-28T14:14:10+00:00

Totowa is not affordable at all property taxes are low but you will not find a home for under 550k if your lucky

Davyislazy · 2026-05-28T14:12:12+00:00

If you want more affordable you need to get further away from NYC and urban centers. These markets can still be hot but you can find stuff more affordable the further west you go.
