Answer 1 :
Central Jersey is good. Although there are a lot of people, it is really nice and it's the suburbs and you can take the Jersey Transit to get to NY or a bus. A lot of people in Central Jersey (Princeton, Hamilton, etc) work in New York.
Answer 2 :
Look at Hoboken. It's a nice area with great shopping. The "Path" train will take you to Manhattan for $1.75 and it stops at 23rd and 33rd Streets
Answer 3 :
would need to know how old you are and what your interests are and if you have a family. If you live in NJ, then you have to pay both NY/NJ taxes. It also depends on how long you want to commute. I live in Middletown, which is > 1hr in...but it's alot nicer than the North Jersey areas around NYC.
Answer 4 :
You have to be careful with Jersey City...parts can be very rough. I live in Port Imperial and LOVE it! We are directly on the water. The ferry terminal is next door and it is a 6 minute ride into mid-town. There is a pool, gym, grocery store, starbucks, ben & jerrys all within the port imperial complex. Here is an article on the area when it was being built: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/28/realestate/28living.html There are 5 or 6 complexes now on the water... Here are a few sites of buildings in Port Imperial: www.riverbendpi.com www.55riverwalkplace.com www.equityapartments.com
Answer 5 :
Hoboken, West NY, Weehawken, Cliffside Park, Fort Lee. You can get to the PATH in Hoboken, but don't overlook some of these other listed communities that have low cost bus transportation to NYC. The person who reccomended Central Jersey (sorry, I consider Princeton, South Jersey).. at any rate that is too far.. working on 28th Street near all the cool things to do you'd hate trying to get home every night.. Good Luck.. Live closer, you'll be much happier
