Can Anyone tell me the safest cheapest place to live in Nj right over the bridge, in between Hoboken and NYC?

The only thing between Hoboken and NYC is the Hudson River
Hoboken is pretty safe. The only problem I ever had while I lived there was drunk fratboys coming from out of town.

How safe is Millville? City-data reports a crime index of 500 but that city is listed as one of the "best" towns in NJ. Theres only a handful of houses I can afford in Millville. Has anyone seen anything good for under $100k and especially under $50k? I found just one house in Milleville for under $50k but its a big one and with a little TLC, I can make it nice.

Fair lawn
Fair Lawn-------
Amazing high school ranked ( I think 45th in the country)
Marching band won a national award
Memorial Middle School was recognized nationally for character ed
Very Low crime
train stations go directly to NYC
15 minutes to the GWB
But,, you may not be able to afford it, it is WAY overpriced but its coming down like every where else.

Well, I live in Parlin (well, Sayreville, but more toward the South Amboy side) and my girlfriend lives in Ringwood. Around me I really love Red Bank (who doesn't?), New Brunswick, Westfield, Summit, the entire Plainsboro area (Cranbury, Jamesburg, Monroe, Hightstown, Princeton, etc.) and Freehold.
My girlfriend's area is beautiful, she's a mile or two off the NY State border and lives in a very quiet neighborhood on Cupsaw Lake. Really has that vacationy-mountains type feel, first time I went up it reminded me of Vermont.
I also really like western Jersey (I know there's no such thing) around Phillipsburg, Clinton, Bloomsbury. Hunterdon and Warren counties are two of my favorites.
I've never been much into the beaches, I never really travel any further south than central Monmouth County, but I really like LBI, mainly Surf City.

I'm with you on the garage issue. When I first moved here from a state where even working class people had nice sized homes, properties, 2+ garages for the cars and motorized toys, I said the same thing re 1 car garages. It turned out that all I was going to be able to afford was a 1 car garage type house. And extra toys? "Fuggeddaboudit" as they say here. That money went to living expenses.
It took a long time to catch up to what I was used to. I
had detached garage built.

Hello. I love the small town feeling, and I've always wanted to live in the kind of town with a town sqaure, and where everyone knows everyone's business. Does anyone know any towns kind of like that?

I lived in Southampton NJ, it was 44 sq miles, 10,000 people. 1 elementary, Very Rural. Everyone knows everyone. Just outside of Medford, In the Lenape school district (brand new high school Seneca). 45 minutes to Trenton, AC, Philly and the beaches. It is a sleepy town that no one really knows about. It is also know as Vincentown.
