Near what NJ Transit stops can you afford (and not afford) to buy a home?

The map below shows how much a home is worth surrounding every NJ Transit stop in New Jersey.

We found the median home values using Census data for the immediate area surrounding the train stops. For the stops in non-residential areas, like Newark Airport, we used the closest Census block to the stop.

Note: The bigger the circle stations are, the higher the home value.

Keep in mind that home values around New Jersey train station stops are generally higher than areas further away.

In addition, we created a chart that chronicles the ups and downs as you travel along the NJ Transit lines.

The biggest jump from one stop to the next happens in the North Jersey Coast line where home values go from $256,700 at the Long Branch stop to $990,900 at the Elberon stop. The North Jersey Coast line, which goes along the Jersey shore, has some of the highest home values.
