bayonne is nice..The closer you get to NY you are going to pay an arm & a leg to live in a decent area..Most landlords also charge the maximum allowed in NJ for a security deposit which is one and one half the monthly rent...lots of $$$ to cough up at once

month and a half isn't the most.. or atleast i once had a landlord try to have me pay 2months security plus the first months,, for a 1bedroom in burlington city. It was a more privately own building set of units.

What's your budget and how long a commute will you tolerate?
