Hello, I'm 31 years old, Hispanic female currently living in Northern NJ and getting divorced. I work at a Mobile Retail Store and I can easily move my job anywhere. I want to move out of NJ because the cost of living is outrageous and tired of snowstorms and rude people. In addition, my $50k approximate salary doesn't get me a place that's not in the ghetto or an apt with other 5 roommates. i was checking rentals and possibly buying a condo since I will get a lump sum for a property settlement agreement on the house I own with my soon to be ex-husband. I would love to live in a walkable and safe area since I have a dog. Also, I am looking for an area where there is a large population of people around my age to make friends and join activities. I currently live in an area in the New Jersey woods that has no sidewalks and full of baby boomers and families. I feel extremely lonely in here and want to avoid to live in a situation like this in the future.

What areas should I consider and which ones should I stay away from?

I was looking a condo in the downtown area, is this area safe?

Atlanta isnt as cheap as most people think, especially if you want to live in the city.

Where do you work if you don’t mind me asking? I think the more important thing would be to finalize your store location. Then start building up areas based on your commute to and from work. I have a few areas in mind, as you seem to be in the same boat as myself. So once you confirm, I’d be happy to suggest a few neighborhoods!

I’m also originally from NJ!

I work at a cell phone carrier which they have stores all over the place and currently have an opening by midtown. i haven't applied or got in contact with managers since I'm still on the divorce process.

I've been checking midtown, Sandy Springs, Decatur and Peach Tree Hills apartments for sale. I'm looking for something under $100k for either a studio or 1 bd. I've seen many that look pretty decent and under that price.

Where in NJ are u from?
