If you're moving to the Berkeley Heights/New Providence area, you may want to check parking with those towns. New Providence I think does parking permits requests online sometime in March for a six month or one year parking permit for non-residents (don't remember the exact time, but it was either for Murray Hill or New Providence stations). Berkeley Heights has a waitlist for parking, but no idea on how long you'd be on the waitlist. Summit use to have a surface lot next to its resident-only garage on Broad Street, but that's been closed as the site of the new firehouse under construction. No idea on non-resident parking options there through the city.

One potential option for you (especially if you don't need to park 5x a week) is using the Boxcar app, which my wife uses on occasion when she goes into the city, because you can reserve the night before.

One other possibility depending on your schedule that I do (since I leave for work in the city early a couple times a week) is to go to Jersey City, park there and then take PATH in.

Hope this helps!

Where do you park in Jersey City? Do you take 280?

I park in downtown, off of Columbus in one of the high rise garages by Grove. Depending on timing and weather, I may walk down a little farther to Exchange Place to catch either the PATH from Newark or Hoboken.

Parking is about $18 a day, but I only do it 2x a week max, so it's doable.

As far as getting there, I take 78, which you would be too if coming from Berkeley Heights or New Providence. 280 is too far north.
