NJ People Chime in

F87LUV · 05-23-2008, 06:41 PM

I'm looking for areas to buy a townhouse or single family home. I work in the city so I'm guessing north would be best. Can anyone give me names of nice[r] areas that would be a reasonable commute?

Craig@SupremePower · 05-23-2008, 06:43 PM

Driving in or taking the train??

PT most likely.

Craig@SupremePower · 05-23-2008, 07:34 PM

Woodbridge area MetroPark is here and tons of condo's and apartments around...plus you boy Alex is close by!!

Dmitriy@AUTOcouture · 05-23-2008, 07:42 PM

I suggest Fort Lee, Edgewater, or any area north of the GWB. I myself am trying to buy a condo in Fort Lee. Probably next year.

I know you're looking for a townhouse or single family home, but check out a building called "The Atrium". Its pure sex.

I would stay away from woodbridge. lived there 15 years ago. the most dirty, smog filled area, with lots of crime due to the mall.

If you can swing it, try bergen county. much nicer, and most areas have trains into the city.

n3985 · 05-23-2008, 08:12 PM

Edgewater, Cliffside Park, or Fort Lee. In that order...

Craig@SupremePower · 05-23-2008, 08:12 PM

Lol wtf are you talking about?? Most ridiculous thing I think i've ever heard!

mpimping · 05-24-2008, 12:13 AM

hoboken, edgewater, fort lee...

mpimping · 05-24-2008, 12:30 AM

in NY there is williamsburg, riverdale and astoria in queens. The only problem is that the closing cost are higher in NY but u might also want to check cobble hill, brooklyn heights and fort greene.

KlubHoppER · 05-24-2008, 12:44 AM

Well i live in rutherford right now and its very beautiful and calm here , if you want you can take a bus to ny and you'll be there in 10 min or soo.. Theres houses here Lots of Apartments and very nice people here...Anyone that moves here, likes it....

mcgeeski · 05-24-2008, 10:02 AM

North Bergen along Blvd. East. Lots of townhouse type homes. Ft. Lee, Edgewater as well. I work in the city also. Commute is easy whether you drive, take bus or ferry.

Good luck!

Sal@AUTOcouture · 05-24-2008, 10:02 AM

Depends how far you want your commute to be and how much you want to spend.

nusevad · 05-24-2008, 11:28 AM

Fort Lee FTW.

F87LUV · 05-24-2008, 11:38 AM

Starting in a few weeks, my commute will be 1.5-2h each way. So I would like it to be under an hour. I would consider moving into the city but my car would get destroyed here, less driving, no garage unless I pay for a monthly spot. Plus I would rather buy than rent.

Blvd East commute door 2 door is 40 minutes if I'm on the bus by 7:25a. I work in midtown at MSG. And at the beginning of the stops...
If I get on any later, its 1 hour, tops!
