im thinking about moving to the area (new job offer) what leading businesses i.e. real estate, healthcare, any local businesses that I should know about...you know, reconnecting with the local businesses. anything will help!
I looked at renting in Rahway. My sister lives there with her family. Its really not a great area. The downtown area is real nice, but thats about it. The outer areas are a bit run down and its awfully close to Elizabeth. It is inexpensive, could be a city on the rise in the next 5-10 years. So much money goes into the downtown area that it seems like not much goes to the outer areas.

If you are talking about the outer area's as in up by 1-9 then
yes it is a bit rundown and going thru some construction
But please stick to what you know
Rahway downtown is going thru a major redevelopement right now
(if you consider that nice than wait till it is finished ) It is not bad right now but there is a lot of construction going on
It will be very nice WHEN it is done
When you were looking in the area did you take a look in the Milton Lake area
The hospital area The Merck area or the Inman Hgts Area ?
I would suggest you take another trip and see what i am talking about.
Those area's are what make Rahway Beautiful right now
When downtown is finished it will also be very nice
Also Fyi
Rahway borders Linden,Clark,Colonia,and Avenal not Elizabeth

Since you will get different view points from people
your best bet is to take a day trip around Rahway from one end to the other and make up your own mind
Some will tell you to try Clark (oh wait a minute , that borders the Milton lake , The Hospital sections And Rahway river park section)
Some will say try Colonia (Oh that borders Inman Hgts and Milton Lake section)
How about Avenel in Woodbridge (also Inman Hghts)
Your best bet will be to take a trip out and when you are done you can
Have a casual lunch or supper at the Waiting room on Cherry St (smack in the middle of downtown) .

I forgot to mention that at least one person
will say don't move there because of the prison
So let me beat them too it
The Prison is not in Rahway
it is on Rahway ave in Woodbrige
Right now rahway is being revitalized at a tremendous rate. I plan on moving there in mid to late 2008. And carteret is being built up with housing and companies as well but I still dont like it there, however it is still good for the surrounding area. There are some run down parts of rahway but once the new nice businesses open up, alot of the old ones will either have to shape up to compete or sell to developers. Second, Im betting that the home values will rise once the housing market turns around and the lower income homeowners will want to sell to make a profit. From what I read , developers are attracting professionals from manhattan who dont want to pay the high cost of housing there. Also Rahway is very close to menlo park mall, new shopping centers and the strip of restaurants on route 1&9. My fiance and I are very excited about this new city!
