How is traffic in this area. I will be travelling to metuchen station along amboy ave. Is it bad in morning /evening. How is security. Saw some construction going on near route 1 pierson ave. looks like a flyover. will this affect house prices?
Do you think it is worth 499K.

Any response will be appriciated.

what's the sq footage of the actual house? I would go for it.

Amboy Ave gets packed during rush hour. I would either walk or have your other drop you off in the morning. The construction you see near the A&P and at the end of Peirson ave is the lane widening of rt1. Its been going on for 3 years now and I think they still have about a year and a half to go.
