The cousin bought a house in the North Caldwell/Cedar Grove area of NJ and the school district is West Essex which are allegedly very good schools.

He works in NYC but only has to commute there 3 days a week. It's a hellish commute that is probably worse than anything in Austin, though.

Doubtful. At least the NYC area has mass public transit. Austin is just sit in traffic on any road from 7-10am and 4-7pm.

West Essex school district is only grades 7-12 ---the surrounding towns of Fairfield, North Caldwell, Roseland, and Essex Fells are the sending elementary districts so he must have bought in one of those 4 towns. I am going to guess that the house was built in the 1960's and needs a lot of updating for that price in that area compared with probably a nicer, newer home of the same size in the Austin area?? Just my guess though, I don't know.
