Nice apartment in nice area in NJ?

Question

I am looking to move to NJ, but my husband works in NYC. What would be the best area to rent in that is affordable but still a nice neighborhood? I have a 5 year old starting kindergarten, so the schools have to be good too. Thanks!!

Answer 1

Anything in NJ that is on the commuter line to NY city is going to be expensive, so what is your price rang?

Answer 2

Look in Old Bridge, Sayreville, South Amboy and South River. I grew up in Old Bridge and my Dad commuted to work in NYC via NJ Transit until his retirement. Pretty good and safe community, nice schools.
