Moving to Millburn in a while
 

Hi All

Am a brit ex pat living currently in San Fran bay area. Going back to where we started 10 years ago...New Jersey. Hubby is already working east side and we want to find a rental by the new year in Millburn. Sounds like a long way away, but I know from experience that rentals can be hard to find in popular areas. I have researched Millburn and visited last xmas in the snow!...my questions are:

1.Look like all the elementary schools are good. South Mountain looks similar to our values...any offers on advice for the elementary's.

2. Rentals look sparse....I want to start early to find one starting next Feb (2012). Budget up to $5500...does this sound reasonable and are there any 'unknown to me' local websites showing rentals.

Thankyou!!!!

Thanks. I'm seeing a lot that confirms my idea's about what Millburn is like. I guess I will wait a while and see if I can get some feedback. I have a strong feeling that I could find a rental through this site just as well as anywhere else!!...it is a fab place for info...glad I found BE today!

Hello! Are you looking for a rental to drive across the country or a rental to move your things? That is a long way to drive either way. I would recommend hiring a moving service to move your items across the country for you. You could end up spending a fortune on gas, tolls, mileage, insurance, rental fees, stopping for food and rest, etc. You could also just ship your things and then take a flight to NJ, which would save you TIME!

Hi

Thanks for your thoughts....my husband is already in an apartment in NJ. We are still in CA but his company will be shipping all our worldly goods...thank goodness....it is expensive!
