I can't imagine accepting such low quality of life that you'd live in New Jersey for $15k per month and ride the train for 120 minutes each day to your 50 hour per week job, and on top of this paying 55% of your income in taxes. Surely there's a better way to do things.

I'd honestly rather step over bums on the sidewalk.

A lot of the big Montclair houses don’t even have backyards. Right on that cliff. Cucked af.

So many better towns. Morris county towns mog Montclair.

because i cant walk more than 200 feet from my office without walking by about 10-20 different firms that also pay on average of like 500k to one million for average employees.

nyc firms pay a **** ton to a lot of people. many of them dont want to live in nyc due to the crme/filth. so they move to upper montclair/glen ridge and happily pay 1.5 million for a nice home. alternative is move to SF and pay 1.5 million for a 1000 square feet

thats why nj still has buyer

This is the truth. An SVP in IT can make well over 500k / yr.

And northern Union county, NJ isn't bad...45 mins from the beach, 45 mins from NYC and all it has to offer, 45 mins from PA and skiing, hiking trails, lakes where you can buy a vacation home. 20 mins from EWR. It's actually pretty nice.

This is all fine and good, and yeah all the numbers might sound good, but this is literally misery. Once you enter this life path, you have virtually no autonomy.

Buying a $1.5M house in New Jersey is like basically committing yourself to being the highest paid slave.

This is actually less in Property Taxes than I thought it would be. But you're living in a non-walkable place with no real amenities, so you're not getting much benefit for this $20k per year at all. Basically schools, and that's it. If a person lives in these areas and has no kids, they're basically cucking themselves.

I know NJ gets a bad rap, but isn't it actually a pretty nice state outside of a couple chit holes?

montclair isnt walkable...you srs brah?


people drive in from way far out to montclair to walk around the town. its arguably one of the nicest little small town experiences in the east coast where you can walk from your mansion to the city center, hop on a train to nyc, or grab coffee, ice cream dinner etc

probably the most walkable town in the east coast lol

Not true. I’m originally from Union County NJ. It’s a chit hole. Taxes thru the roof. Crazy traffic.

Northern Union County is Elizabeth, Hillside and Union. Absolute crime infested dumps.

45 mins from the beach. Maybe to Sandy Hook, I’ll give you that. But Sandy Hook is meh on its best day. And those are the days they don’t bus in all the inner city kids.


It is close to NYC, but you can live next to any large city. And honestly, I was over going to NYC when I was still a teenager.


45 mins to PA and skiing? That’s every bit of 90+ mins.


Newark airport is convenient though. Since they fly everywhere. Even though it smells like piss and has homeless people living and sleeping there.

Yeah but whoever bought that house now has to live in Montclair, which is ground zero for liberal virtue signaling. Every one of the neighbors probably has a gay pride flag flapping on their property next to their “In this house we believe science is real etc” lawn sign

I was referring to the Summit area which is Union County. It is actually 1 hr 10 mins from Camelback Mountain Resort in Tannersville, PA so I did underestimate that distance but everything else is about right.

The current owner paid 71K over asking 5 years ago for this house. Now they just listed for 89K over what they purchased for. lol

They paid about $20k per year in taxes and insurance over that time, so it's basically a wash.

ive been to a lot of nyc suburbs, and think summit is probably the nicest one.

chatham and madison are also nice AF.

but summit especially in the nice area north of the train is probably the nicest suburb ive seen in america

It's rural but I like Warren, too. You get way more for your money and I like the idea of more property. Those houses you posted are very close together. Mine is pretty close to my neighbor's too, but we have huge evergreens on the property lines so it doesn't seem like it.

Morristown is a nice place, too.

I mean, I have friends who moved from NYC to Florida. Went to a wedding last year in Orlando, half of it was New Yorkers JFLing@NYC, giggling about the lack of income tax and property investment game they play there.

Some people get NYC, some don't. Some people change (I am now, as a papa), some don't.

Bought my home at $615k 9 months, already worth $640k now
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Oooof, property taxes got to be brutal in Summit.
When I moved from Union County, I went to Bridgewater. Taxes were $1200 on a 1800 sq ft house on 3/4s of an acre in 1997. From there I went to Warren County $5000 on 3600sq ft.
Then to South Carolina under $1000 for 3800 sq ft.

About 25k for a $1.2 mil house would be typical.
