On schools, I believe the younger grades are within the town, but the HS kids go to Westwood.
On commute, no train lines run through the town, but I do believe there's buses that go to Port Authority. And it's convenient to both route 17 and the GSP.
On taxes, I believe they are comparable to the other towns in the area. Taxes do not include garbage collection (you hire a contractor for that), and the town requires you to use these "special" garbage bags that are more expensive and there are limitations on where you can purchase them.
On reputation, I think it's overall pretty positive. Nice homes, nice people. Surrounded by nice towns.
Washington Twp schools are lumped under "Westwood Regional schools". It's a nice area, but doesn't have a downtown, just a strip mall.
