Joyce Kilmer is one of our favorite places to go, and in my younger days I would paddle the Cheoah which is an amazing river.

If you don't need the PATH and restaurants within walking distance, you can deal with a ferry to lower Manhattan (in community) or a 10min shuttle to the PATH, you plan on starting a family, you really want to live on the water and actually maybe get on the water for boating/kayaking/paddle boarding, then I would recommend Port Liberte.
