Want a shorter commute? These 10 homes for sale are all near NJ Transit stations

If you travel into the city daily, a home conveniently located to a train station could be the ultimate investment.

Buying a home in the New Jersey suburbs can come with perks like more space and better schools

But for those who still have to cross the Hudson River to get to work, setting up your life in a residence away from the city means a daily trek to and from the office that can easily stretch to an hour or more. One way to cut down on traveling time is to find a place close to public transportation, making the trip to the train station less of a hassle in the morning.

This NJ Transit train line is the worst at getting you to work on time

Want to walk out your front door and arrive at the train station in about six minutes? Consider purchasing a four-bedroom home on Highland Place in Maplewood with an asking price of $850,000.

Budget a bit tighter? A Victorian home on the market in Rahway puts you within a similar distance to a rail stop for less than half the price

Check out those properties and eight others for sale that may be a perfect fit for people who want a life in the suburbs but the ability to walk to the train from their home in the gallery above.

The estimated commute times represent the best-case scenario for traveling from each property to Penn Station in New York City by train on a weekday morning. Obviously, the best-case scenario is not always what plays out for commuters every morning.
