After spending much of her adult life working abroad, then moving to Brooklyn and starting a family, Christina PioCosta-Lahue discovered she
could go home again. Last summer, she moved back to Essex Fells, the tiny northern New Jersey suburb where she grew up.
Ms. PioCosta-Lahue, 42, and her husband, Emmett Williams, 58, who have a toddler son and another child on the way, traded a small apartment in the brownstone they own in Bedford-Stuyvesant for a stucco colonial on 1.26 acres, paying $1.087 million. They had also searched in Montclair, about five miles east, but found comparable houses more expensive and on smaller lots.
