I don't know if you are closer to the north side or south side of Wayne for work. That Route 46 / 23 / 80 area can get pretty messy. Traffic tends to run west to east / north to south from that area in the morning and the reverse in the evening. I would say that a commute to Wayne from the north isn't terrible depending on where your coming from. I live in Ringwood and coming over Skyline Drive in the morning can be slow but usually bearable depending on what time your headed out, but you have a number of options to get to Wayne.
I like the convenience of having Ringwood / Ramapo, Sterling, Jungle, Way Way and High Mountain in close proximity.
Your in for a tax shock coming into NJ if you buy. My SIL who lives in Marlborough, MA pays about 1/3 of what we pay in property taxes.
What other amenities are you looking for in the area you want to live? Night life, shopping? Want more rural - look north and west of Wayne.
