Reply to comment by Direct_Ad18 in Need help with where to go next… by PleasantSubject2759

thanks for all this. Yes, i’m trying to lower my rent. i’m paying $2800 for a 1 bed + $250 for parking. I have explored other neighborhoods, just not at lengths and i value the people who have been living here for years and what they might have to say.

Got it, just wanted to make sure you had numbers and such right but sounds like you do since you're trying to go from 1 bedroom to 2 bedroom.

If you can stick with your current rent or closer to it, you shouldn't have an issue finding a luxury building in Bergen Lafayette near the light rail. You'd want to be looking near the northern part of Bergen Lafayette. The area isn't as neighborhoody as Hamilton park or the heights, but the light rail can get you downtown in a few minutes.

I live near the light rail and personally love how I can get throughout most of Jersey City and Hoboken on it very easily, even parts of weehawken and Bayonne. But I don't need to go to the city, not sure if you would find it annoying to have to transfer to the path on a regular basis.

Based on your response I'm already changing my opinion of thinking you should move to Bergen Lafayette whereas before I said the heights. So moral of the story is definitely check out the neighborhoods!
