I just made the move from Northern Virginia a few months ago and I would say his decision comes down to one thing: schools for the kid(s).

We landed in a newer section of Alpharetta (house is 6 years old) in North Fulton County because of 1) schools, 2) community/neighborhood and 3) proximity to work (w/in 15 miles). We have 2 young children so we spent a lot of time looking at the schools and it is critical it find a great elementary, middle and then high school system.

The traffic isn't really much different then what I was used in NoVa but everyone around here says it has gotten steadily worse over the last 5 years.

Depending on where he is in NJ he could really come out ahead on housing because I found the market to be very affordable.

He definately needs to spend a few days just driving around and getting a feel for the different areas.
