You'll do well in either Ravens Crest or Plainsboro. But, you may also want to consider South Brunswick as well since there are plenty of apartments available there as well as a large Indian population. Southridge Woods Apartments are the newest, East Garden & Royal Oaks are a bit older. Franklin Park is also very close by to South Brunswick and Route 27 is LOADED with both Indian restaurants and an Indian grocery store (Patel's Cash & Carry - North Brunswick), and there are plenty of apartments to chose from there as well.
Coming from a small town, I would recommend staying away from Edison. You'll find a large Indian population in the areas I mentioned, plus you won't have to put up with the Route 1 commute which could drive you insane! =)
Good luck! Let me know if you need any help.

Thnx for your gr8 help !!
Actually I am looking the plainsboro apartments becoz of the rent and washer n dryer...they offer it in all of their units...u know !!!! I will definitely check the South Ridge Woods...it is closer to my work.
thnx again !!
I have one more question....Can I get good quality of Grocery stores n Indian Restaurants in Plainsboro ? I was searching some stores but they are min.10 miles far from the plainsboro apartments ...is thre any Walmart supercenter ?
plz guide.

There are 3 restaurants in Plainsboro, Flavor 0f India, Crown of India and Ganges.
There are also 2 grocery stores in Plainsboro, Asian Food Center of Princeton (It is in the Plainsboro shopping center) and Desi Corner.

There is a WalMart in nearby West Windsor but it is not a supercenter. There is also a Target in West Windsor that sells groceries.

edison is a high crime area? hahahahah...that's news to me. uh, no. btw, edison is quite a distance from plainsboro/princeton..maybe south brunswick or one of the other brunswicks would be more a place to look at.

[rockey123]

@jersyj..thanks for the information.

@Kalim
Thnx for ur advice....actually I don't have any idea about Edison..my friends told that....it's really good to know dat the place is really good.
Kalim...can you please suggest me some good apartments in edison area ?
So that I can check them too....thnx.

[arica22]

I was gonna say.... I have lived in Edison for 7 years and haven't heard of any major crime happening....

[rockey123]

Can anyone suggest some good apartments in EDISON area ?

[rockey123]

Howz NEW BRUSWICK ???? is it nice area to rent a apartment ? plz suggest some good apartment complexes in this area !!!

[RUNYYfan]

New Brunswick is a college town with most rentals going to college kids. I honestly cannot recommend a "good" apartment complex in the area right now. What I can tell you is to stay away from Tov Manor and Raritan Gardens.
