You should repost this in the "New Jersey Suburbs of Philadelphia" sub-forum.

Yea, the South Jersey subforum will give you a better answer. In general though, 1500 should be fine for a 2-bed apartment, maybe not in a luxury building, but in a pretty nice one. Mt. Laurel is centrally located, with Cherry Hill, Moorestown, and Marlton, all of which are decent towns.

I think the majority of people most anywhere get by on less than $50/hour so that should work.
