Moving to NJ - Need Housing Advice

Submitted by randomgreentree t3_zeuzy4 in newjersey

Hello everyone! I'm gonna keep this as short as possible cause I just need some advice from people that are familiar with the area.

I recently received a job offer and will be moving to NJ sometime next year. The job is in Neptune and want to live in an area that has more to do for the younger crowd and more things to do! I don't mind commuting! Thoughts? Advice? This is my first big move so anything is appreciated!

edited to add budget: I’m just starting out so i’m hoping to spend max around $2500 on housing. If im being naive please burst my bubble now lol

New Brunswick would be about 45min.

PS — You should mention a budget.

You're less than a mile from Asbury Park. Commuters dream.

Most of Neptune and Asbury Park have a very urban feel (and somewhat blighted). But the eastern side of Asbury Park is pretty happening, lots of bars/restaurants, plus the boardwalk- it’s a got that trendy/lively vibe. If you live in the immediate area, you have other summer beach towns very close, like Belmar, etc. But finding a nice area to live close by might be expensive, especially in many of the surrounding towns just north of Neptune, and east of Rt. 35…

Asbury Park is the hip place to be…..however if you can’t find housing there you could try Ocean Grove (quieter, very pretty) which is right next to AP. You can very easily walk to all the clubs and bars in AP and then walk home.

Finding a year round rental is EXTREMELY difficult so make sure you are looking. Both Asbury Park & Neptune have good & not great areas so do thorough research. There are lots of seasonal & vacations rentals that can get mixed in so make sure you are looking at annual rentals. I think your budget is so-able depending on how many bedrooms you need & if you have pets (harder with pets since it limits your options.
