Moving to NJ - job in Hackettstown (Wayne, Hoboken: living in, nightlife)

[ipot]

Hi,

I'll be starting a new job in Hackettstown and I'm looking for places to live nearby. I'm moving from Boston (cambridge) and living in the suburbs will be a new experience for me. I'm in my mid-twenties and single, and would like a place where there are things to do. Also, it would be nice if my commute is not more than 30-45 minutes. What places would you suggest? I've read on other threads about Wayne/Randolph/Morristown.

Thanks!

Morristown all the way! I love the nightlife and it has such a great vibe. It reminds me of Hoboken.

I don't think you can go wrong with Morristown.

why don't you consider living closer to your work and traveling a bit longer for your entertainment, if you think about it you commute more to work than you go out to play

That's true... but I like the thought of living close to NYC. But as you said, even if I go out every weekend, I'll be commuting more to work. I don't know, I've to decide.
