I'm going to be graduating from college this year and have a job lined up in New York City. I'm going to be starting at $40,000 a year therefore I cannot afford to live anywhere in the 5 burrows. I am looking for a safe area in NJ with plenty of apartments and max price around $800 ($600 would be better) I also need it close to either the PATH train or NJ transit with a max commute around 45 minutes to one hour. Can anyone recommend an area that fits these criteria.
I would suggest maybe starting to look around Roselle Park, Cranford, Garwood and further. Trains and buses to NYC. Also note it's spelled 5 boroughs,,,bro. Burrows are for sumpthin else
Would you consider finding a roommate? That would give you a lot more options for safe towns with a max budget of $800 per month. A previous poster suggested Cranford, which is a great town, but I'd imagine that it would be very tough, if not impossible, to find an apartment for $800 per month. However, I'm sure you could find a 2 BR for less than $1600.

When I was in college (in NYC), the whole point of moving to NJ was to live without a roommate. If the OP is fine with a roommate, he might as well live in the city?

Not so much, if you want to live in a safe area with a close commute, and spend $600 per month. Just trying to provide some options, not sure why anyone would have an issue with that.
