Lifelong Jersey resident. I’d recommend Metuchen, Highland Park, Cranford and the nicer parts of Piscataway for towns close to Plainfield, but would advise you to avoid the other towns mentioned.

Metuchen has lots of new-ish apartments like these - https://www.woodmontmetro.com/ which are right on the NE corridor line if you wanted access to NYC. Also lots of restaurants and very walkable.
