Reply to Possibly moving to New Jersey by Idontevenknowspanish

Congrats on the offer! If it's a great position and offer, run with it and try and live between there and Philadelphia for reasonable rent and a nightlife in Philadelphia. Other than that, for someone your age, I'd try and get as close of a job position to a major city as possible ( near NY or near Philly). You don't want to live alone in the burbs just yet. I own a home in the burbs and had to rent it because of how slow I found it

understood! So if a car is necessary and you will be commuting in, I would say live near to a highway, with the three access points to the city being the GWB, Lincoln and Holland tunnels. Decent and affordable towns (house, apartments) , you have Clifton right off rt 3, Saddle brook and Elmwood park right off 80, and Kearny has backroad 7 and 78. If you want me to be more specific, also let me know if you are looking to rent an apartment or house ! NJ is pretty diverse, I wouldn't bother with anything outside of Essex Bergen Passaic Hudson (I own a home in Union county but its too far for me, so I rented it)

OP you cant take nj transit (the train) into midtown? I'd ditch the car for the commute; it would give you way more options. If that's a possibility, let me know and I can give you my personal recs (i'm moving to NYC dec through february at some point, BK, so i have the opposite accommodations to make)
