Good advice Paul!
My Dads advice, Take a map, draw a circle around your work with the commute you are comfortable with. Then cut the circle in half from north to south. The eastern half is the location you need to search. That way when you drive to work, the sun is at your back, the same for the drive home.
Did that for my move in 1998, drew a 30 min circle. Ended up with 40 min out near Great Adventure in Monmouth County, love it out here, very rural, decent taxes, good schools, you just have to put up with the lack of services (like water and sewer)
