Nice towns in Central-North Jersey??? (Union, Hoboken: lease, school, price)

[notwist]

I am looking for a new place since my lease is ending this June. I currently work in Middletown though I plan on attending graduate school in North Jersey (more specifically Hoboken). Would anyone be able to suggest any nice areas that are equidistant between these two cities? I would like a one bedroom though I may be open to a studio. Price isn't really an issue at the moment. I'm just looking for a list of cities that may be of interest.

Thanks!

How about Cranford, Kenilworth which are both right by the parkway. Roselle Park and Union are also good. Now that I think of it, they are all near the parkway and near train stations.

Cranford and Kenilworth are great options, you may also want to consider Rahway. Rahway is being regenerated and there are a lot of places available that may work for you. Also new train station direct line to NYC.
