I am Bogdan Nicolae Rus, a licensed New Jersey REALTOR® with eXp Realty (license #2186044). My day-to-day focus is Hudson County, and I also help buyers, sellers and renters in Sussex County.
My search pulls from the Hudson County MLS and Garden State MLS, so it may not show every home on the market in Sussex County. If you spot a home somewhere else, send me the address and I will look into it.

How do you get around from Sussex County?
Sussex County has no NJ Transit train station of its own. The nearest commuter rail is on NJ Transit's Morris and Essex Lines at Hackettstown, Mount Olive, Netcong, Lake Hopatcong, Mount Arlington and Dover, which residents reach by car or by contracted bus service.
Most daily trips here are by car, so I check the drive for each home, not only the town.

Taxes and zoning are set town by town, so I check them for the specific home, not the county as a whole.
