Obviously you never been to walpack or blairstown or Stillwater or Layton or Montague
My point exactly, people think they live rural but are 5 minutes from a quick chek.Might as well just move to PA.
well this is page 2 now....Can we start to talk about Cannondale yet?

Commute would be to an area on the map appears to be called Haledon, looks close to High Mountain Perserve Park, if that helps. I’m still not too familiar with the area.Where in Wayne makes a big difference. Do you know which part?
Wayne is a relatively big town - any more specific?
anywhere from Boonton twp north to ringwood. Kinnelon is nice.
Yeah, very likely will rent for the first year, but would be nice to move once not move again in 12 months. In the end though I think renting does make the most sense. Would not be ideal to commit to a home/mortgage and 6 months later realize it’s not in an area I want live in.I guess you are renting? Its always a good idea to rent imo, get a lay of the land, check things out, explore before you commit to a mortgage.
I'd say being relatively close to work with a hassle free drive would be priority, ideally with mtb trails nearby. You can always drive to other trails on wknds, most places up north fit the bill you are looking for and roads to get there are quite on wknd mornings.
You’re gonna base your living area on Mtb’ing? Is there a significant other involved here ?I’m going to be moving to NJ in August, and was looking to see if you guys could give me some insight on areas I should consider living. I’m a little bummed to be leaving to my local trails and the crew I ride with. But, I am looking forward to having new trails to ride and building a new network of buddies to ride with.
I’m looking to live somewhere that’s around a 30 minute commute to Wayne (or less) and want to live 20 minutes or less to good trails.
From what I’ve found online, living in the Ringwood or Wanaque area looks like it could be a good fit, but I want to make sure I’m not overlooking anything, as I’m not from the area.
Where I live now, some of our best trails are not easy to find, if you aren’t familiar with the area. Love trails with tech, rock, chunk, rolls, drops/senders etc.... I haven’t had a chance to ride in NJ yet, but I found some videos on YouTube, and Ramapo looks like a fun spot, as well as Ringwood. Is there anywhere else I should be looking?
Probably will take a trip(s) down in the coming weeks, to start looking for a place to live and def will bring a bike to get some riding in.
So, I’m looking for any insight before signing a lease or purchasing a home, and suggestions on where to ride.
Thanks!!!!
The Atlantic Highlands is a hidden gem. Close to the beach
Depending on your $ - wants- Bradley Beach would be on my list
