Moving from Jersey City or Hoboken to Morris County
Trading a high-rise for a yard is one of the most common moves in New Jersey, and one of the most complicated to time. Romila Bajaj is a certified relocation specialist and a member of both Hudson County MLS and Garden State MLS, so she can handle both halves of the move: your home in Hudson County and your next one in Morris County.
Why Buyers Move West
Buyers coming from Jersey City and Hoboken usually want more space, a yard, and highly regarded public schools, without giving up access to New York. Morris County offers lake communities, walkable downtowns, and towns with their own train stations, at prices that buy far more room than a comparable Hudson County condo. The countywide median sale price was about $756,000 in August 2026, according to Redfin.
One Agent for Both Sides of the Move
Your Hudson County home. As a Hudson County MLS member, Romila can list your condo for sale or for lease. She recently leased a 27th-floor apartment at 389 Washington St in Jersey City.
Your Morris County purchase. As a Garden State MLS member with 210 career sales, she knows Morris County town by town, and she was named Top Producing Agent at Weichert's Mountain Lakes office in 2025.
The timing. She coordinates the two transactions so you aren't paying for two homes longer than necessary, whether that means lining up closing dates, negotiating a rent-back, or timing a purchase around the end of your lease.
Getting to New York
Denville and Morris Plains are on NJ Transit's Morristown Line, with direct Midtown Direct trains to New York Penn Station. Mountain Lakes, Boonton, and Towaco in Montville are on the Montclair-Boonton Line. For drivers, Routes 80, 287, and 46 connect the county toward the city. Commute times vary by train and destination, so Romila helps you weigh the trade-offs town by town.
