Hello, I am a 26 year old female that will be moving from Pennsylvania to New Jersey in October. I need suggestions on cities/apartments that are central to Edison and Union city. I will be working at both offices and wanted to live somewhere in the middle to make my commute easy to both locations. I am trying to keep my budget under $1300.
I want a safe area, hopefully with restaurants/bars and other fun things to do. I also will have my car with me so somewhere with easy parking is preferable and with the least amount of traffic to decrease commute time. I was looking at downtown Newark, but I don't think its very car friendly, also not sure how safe that area is. Other areas I was looking at was East Orange and Jersey city, but Jersey city seems too expensive. I would love for any suggestions as to what other areas I can look into. Thank you!

Are you driving to work in both locations?

Maybe Summit? It's a nice town. However, Summit is on a different train line than Edison. And, Union City has no train station.

Westfield is another town to consider.

Not sure what you'd get for $1,300 in NJ though. Maybe a studio, or a share?

Yes, I plan on driving to both locations so I don't necessarily have to be close to a train station, but it would be nice so I can go to nyc on the weekends.

East Orange certainly isn't safe, and downtown Newark is iffy, I believe.
