I moved to NJ from LI 20+ years ago. Lived on Prospect Ave in Hackensack before buying a house a few towns away. Need more information to help you. Budget, are you commuting to work, own a car? Respectfully, there are a large number of Indian expats on visas living in some of the complexes, if this is of importance to you.

Prospect Ave has a range of mid rise buildings, rentals and co-ops. Tons of new construction in The Sack or downtown area. Other apartments scattered throughout.
