Franklin, Union, Alexandria, Readington, Where will you be working? Do you need to be close to 78? Trains? Bus?

Each HS has a niche in what they do well. Central is big, South is tiny- bigger schools more options, but also more competitive.

If you want "in town" - also consider High Bridge, Frenchtown, Lambertville, if your looking for burbs and newer development- Clinton Twp. Raritan Twp. If you want rural/farm Kingwood/ or the Amwells.

With kids that age - I'd look to be closer to a school, you'll spend a lot of time driving them, or they may end up on a longish bus route. Property taxes on a 4 bedroom will be 10K+ per year, it's not insane for NJ cost wise, but it is also still North/Central NJ.

My husband will be commuting to Skillman so anything within a 30ish min radius is preferred. Yes - closest to schools is probably best!

We moved to Hopewell (township) last year. We love it! It is further south then you are looking, but a quick commute to Skillman.

Hillsborough, Montgomery and Somerville are also good options right there as well. Very safe towns with a lot to do!
