We're definitely not looking much further north than Edison, for the reasons you said. The main issue is that Edison and Ewing are about an hour apart, so commutes will be long-ish no matter what. Somewhere around South Brunswick would probably be optimal, since that's in the middle of the Edison and Ewing. But we're just looking anywhere that's between Edison and Ewing.
Not bad, I think your biggest issue might be traffic. It tends to be like hell when you get closer to New Brunswick.

But yeah, as long as you stay around there or go further south, you should be able to avoid the high rent junk and sketchy areas of NJ.
