Hi Everybody,

 

Moved back recently from the Midwest. Rent has sure gone up since last I remember.

 

Anyone know of any areas with affordable housing/rent close to a Rail Station?

Newark, Camden, Paterson, Etc.

No real good options. Lots of people want to live near rail to commute to NY which drives up prices. You might consider somewhere which is a short drive to one of the bus hubs.

LOL......cruel joke!

He did say affordable housing.

Well, the Trenton station is close to Hamilton Township. Which is pretty safe with blue or white collar areas and cheap rentals. No idea how long the trip is to NYC, it's South Jersey.

 

In North Jersey, Madison is pretty expensive in general but they have apartments ranging from reasonable and nice to downright cheap. And you can walk to the train there and it is a quick trip to NYC.

 

Are you sure you want to do this?

 

You're asking at a gun forum. You know what you are getting into? Jersey sucks. And no, you'll never be able to carry. Or even take an unloaded handgun to a friend's house to show him. Just had to get that out of the way. I've seen people who thought they knew what they were getting into and later regretted missing the finer points.

Where are you trying to commute to? Housing is affordable where I live and we are 10 min from a bus hub. My gf takes a direct bus into NYC every morning.

You're assuming traveling into NYC, which from Trtenton / Hamilton / Princeton Junction is a good 1:15. Philly is way less. That area is Central Jersey, not South. ;-)

What's affordable to you?  That may help as well.  

Honestly it depends on your budget and your lifestyle. Need a little more information.

New Brunswick - I have a 1 bedroom condo that I could potentially start renting out in August.  Within walking distance of the NJ Transit Jersey Ave train station and just around the corner from a Coach bus depot.  Also available for purchase

how safe??   remember, we are all UNarmed here. 

Raritan, Somerville, Bound Brook, Middlesex,  Dunellen. All on the Raritan Valley Line and all decent towns with (relatively) affordable and safe housing.

Camden? Give me a break.

 

Avoid anything near the High Speed Line in Camden or Pennsauken (or Gloucester if they have it) and go a little further east. Plenty of affordable rent in decent neighborhoods for a Philly commute.

 

Which would beg the question. Who the F would ask on a gun forum where to live in Jersey to commute to PA? That would be like a Jew asking where to live inside the border of the Gaza Strip for short commute into Israel.

camden is very very safe. all of the crimin street corner entrepreneurs have guns.

 

 seriously.....sorry man. camden is NOT a place where you wanna go live.

Look into the river line, pick towns along there. Not sure your destination......

It would help a lot if you gave us some info. where you are thinking of living, where you have to commute to, what you can afford etc etc..

  The replies are only as good as the info you gave. Just sayin

I will likely have one of my rentals come open in Somerville for Sept 1.  3 bedroom 2 bath one car garage, 1/2 duplex walk to main street.  PM me for details.  

South Jersey where?

Try Rahway or even Linden.

Right on NE corridor line or shore line.

South Jersey where?

Coastal Plain Phisiographic Province.
