Hudson County is expensive and you won't get very much for your money in terms of property size/land, you're paying to be close to NYC.

East Orange - nope

Newark - depends where

If you're not dead set on Hudson County, look at more of Essex County and maybe Union County. Just depends how far you want to be from the city (and where in the city you need to be close to), I'm in Union Township and can be downtown/midtown in 25 minutes by car (with no traffic), if you need to be closer to the Bronx it's about 35 minutes.

Okay thanks, that’s very helpful. I didn’t know where to start, so I just did the popular neighborhoods.

You bet. I'm happy to suggest some towns but it really depends how far you want to be (and from which parts of NYC), what your budget is, how much space you want, if you're looking for a more urban or suburban area, time of day you'll be commuting, etc. Even Hudson County by car can take some time due to bridge/tunnel traffic so if you want your commute to stay within 30 minutes (with traffic) you probably want to stick with Hudson or Bergen County, specifically the towns within a few miles of the bridge/tunnels (like the ones you named along with the ones a few others named - Englewood, Fort Lee, Edgewater - these all surround the GWB though).
