Dear friends,

Please give me much advice, thank you all in adcance.We have not been in there.
I'm in GA now. My husband just find a job in Manhattan. But he works at home and just sometimes goes to his company in Manhattan. Middle March this year he will begin his work. So we don’t have too much time to find a safe apartment.

We want to rent a condo or like a condo in New Jersey.

First, We want to rent a bedroom(with a bathroom) but not studio. How much money do we need to rent such a condo or like condo? ($800 – 900(this is our plan) a month is enough? )


-we are looking for some place safe. It is no problem if this place some far away from Manhattan. For example, it perhaps takes 1 hour or 90 minutes from the place to Manhattan.
-We would like to be not far away from public transportation.

Second, which place should we choose to rent a apartment according your view? Can you five me some detai information?

Third, do you know from where we can easily find apartments?
-I know “Craiglist,” .
- I also try to find apartments in http://www.apartmentguide.com/apartments/New-Jersey. But I think the aprtments in this web is very expensive.

Fourth, this place” 144 High Street Gardens [SIZE=3]144 High Street Orange ” is safe?[/SIZE]


Thank you, friends.

I wouldn't classify Orange as safe, though it might depend upon your definition of safe.

You will have a lot of options if you are looking within a 90 minute commute of Manhattan. $800- $900 is a little lean for a 1 bedroom in a nice area.

Try Lodi, Clifton or Nutley.

realtor.com is a good site for what you need.

Stay away from Newark and Jersey City with your budget.

With your budget and the desire for safety... I'd look in Bergen and Passaic counties... if you're willing to commute 60 - 90 minutes that even brings some of Morris county into play... you can find single bedroom apartments for under $1,000 easily out in places like Parsippany/Morristown (Morris County out on Route 80), in places like Wayne, Totowa, and Clifton (Passaic County, out on Route 3, to Route 46, up Route 23), or in places like Hackensack, Teaneck, and Riveredge (Bergen County, out Route 4 up Route 17).

None of these are necessarily easy commutes but plenty of people do it and they'd all be under 90 minutes and closer to 60. All are safe areas and most of them are extremely safe where you wouldn't mind your grandma wandering around by herself at 1am.

Thank you Friends,

How much noney does it normally cost us for a bedroom+a bathroom+livingroom in such cities like nusley, Wayne and so on?

I still think that It is not easy for us to find a apartments(a bedroom+a bathroom+livingroom ) under $1000. If some one knows apartments, can you give us the names of apartments?

Thank You!

Try rent.com... apartments.com... or craigslist..

There's 2 apartment complexes in Parsippany advertising 1 bedrooms under $1,000, Baldwin Manor ($985) and Camelot Gardens ($950)... there's also Madison Arms in Hackensack right at $1,000.

You can't expect people to do all the work for you... we've recommended good areas for you to start your search but the search itself is up to you.

As for your final question... it appears $1,000 is going to be a bit light. I know I was renting for $850 - $925 in West Paterson but that was over 5 years ago (Westmount). It appears rents have gone up which isn't terribly surprising with people losing their homes and moving back to apartments. You may have better luck in the $1,200 range.

There are a number of apartments in the Wayne/Lincoln Park area that may be suitable for you as well
