[halju]

hello everyone. I've been coming to the forum for awhile now and decided to join and post. I about to be transferred to morristown Nj for work and i was trying to find a decent town to live in. Im in my mid 20's and make 55k so taking home about 3200 a month. I;ve been looking at apartments in Union however i wanted the opinion from some one who actually lives in jersey.

thanks,
halju

Morristown would be a good place to live, but I know apartments there can be very expensive. I know someone that was paying about $1800 for a 1BR. If you want to live closer to NYC you could consider a town like South Orange that has a direct train into NYC (40-minute ride), and a decent downtown. Seton Hall is there too so you would probably get a younger crowd. Then you could commute up route 24 to work in Morristown.
