I've read some threads suggesting Princeton and Lambertville from years back. Can anyone comment on the commute from Princeton, Lambertville, or even Hoboken, and whether that is realistic? Can anyone also comment on whether those areas would be appropriate for me in terms of meeting people, nightlife, parks and recreation, etc?

The most realistic commute without a car is from Princeton.

Lambertville will be tough and Hoboken will be insane.

As stated before - depending where you work in Plainsboro, relying on public transportation is not the best idea in the world.

If nightlife is so important, I would really recommend living in Plainsboro and biking to work and cabbing to Princeton or New Brunswick.

Remember: You're working 5 days a week. Nightlife is 2-3 days a week.

I would prefer new brunswick BUT hoboken is doable if you use the train to princeton jct. Also since you work in plainsboro there is a rush hour shuttle bus other than the 600 fail line that takes you to your worksite from the station click here for details GMTMA.org yeah your ****ed try carpooling from the station

To me this sounds crazy, the idea of living in Hoboken and commuting to Plainsboro for work, especially without a car.

It seems this person really is best in an urban setting and should really consider getting a job in NYC or Philly.

Plainsboro while a really nice town to live in is not for one who is looking for nightlife, an urban lifestyle and has no car.
