House hacking in Bergen County, NJ

Hi everyone, first-time investor here! I am looking to house hack a 2-4 unit multifamily property in Bergen County, NJ to get started. I'm currently looking in the Southern Bergen County area. East Bergen County (where I currently live) would be preferable because I drive into Manhattan every day for work (Washington Heights), but I understand that this area does not make sense.

If you had to house hack a small multifamily in Bergen County, New Jersey, which towns would you target and why? I am considering renting by the room and looking for value adds (ie. adding a bedroom, bathroom, finishing a basement). I live simply and do not need much space for myself at the moment. Commute time and parking availability are some of the various reasons why I'd like to stay in Southern Bergen County (for now).

Additionally, if anyone here currently house hacks in Bergen County, I'd love to connect and chat!
