I am moving from Long Island to New Jersey for work. I have no idea where I should look. I want to live in a quiet safe area that is gay friendly and within a 30-50 minute commute to Elizabeth NJ. I am only seeking an apartment at this point, not a house. If anyone has suggestions on apartments as well, it would be much appreciated.
I am looking for something moderately priced, nothing crazy expensive and safe.

Thanks!

Hi MovinOnUp1919,

I moved away from the area a few years ago but check out Westfield. It's a very nice town in Union County, not far from Elizabeth, with a great downtown shopping district.

Not knowing your price range or what size apartment you're looking for, I did a quick search for apartments below $1,500 in Westfield and found some examples at this Weichert site:

http://www.westfieldnj-rentals.com/h...nt/0-1500.html

Some of them are very near the downtown shopping district, close to restaurants, Trader Joe's, shops, a movie theater, and the NJ Transit train station and bus service is very close by.

Prices are going to be similar for any area that fits your description. You could also try Scotch Plains, Cranford and Clark. They're all in Union County and close to Elizabeth.

NJ.com also has rental listings for all those towns. Just Google the town name + NJ + rentals and look for the link to NJ.com listings.

Good luck at your new job and in your new apartment!

Rahway might be a good possibility also. Almost anything is better than being stuck on an Island in my book.

South Plainfield might be a good possibility.
