Certainly, even if it's not fully justified.

I'm in prime-child having age for my generation and I would be pretty OK to afford a house in central NJ in line with the one I grew up in. And I could do that working from home and moving to a good district. But someone who has to drive to RU everyday would be more limited.

I always thought Highland Park was professors' first choice. It's a close ride if not walk to campus, very good schools, very walkable.
