NEWARK, NJ — If you want to have an easy commute to Manhattan, Newark is a pretty good place to live, a recent study says.

Several municipalities in Essex County, including Newark, cracked the top 40 in Property Shark's "best New Jersey commuter towns to Manhattan."

With an average commute time of 40 minutes, Newark ranked 6th highest on the list, which considered towns and cities with a population above 25,000 that are located within a 30-mile radius of downtown Manhattan.
