Is it better to buy near public transit or have more land?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
It depends on your lifestyle. Buying near NJ Transit train stations or major bus routes means easier commutes to Philadelphia and New York, but often means smaller lots and higher prices per square foot. More land offers privacy, space, and outdoor living but typically means longer commutes and more maintenance. Consider your daily commute and how you spend weekends.
Why It Matters
Location trade-offs affect your daily routine, home value, and quality of life. Prioritize what matters most for your family's lifestyle and work situation.
