Hmm, are you going to stay in NJ or going out of state? If you're going to stick in NJ, I'd say stick more toward the southern NJ areas, because it gets madly expensive as you start going north.

The situation is this:

My band's guitarist and dad are currently living with relatives, and plan to move out by June. They invited me, since they know I've expressed interest in moving out. The criteria on location is that the guitarist needs to be able to commute to Edison for college, and obviously I need to be able to commute to my college in Ewing. We're definitely not looking much further north than Edison, for the reasons you said. The main issue is that Edison and Ewing are about an hour apart, so commutes will be long-ish no matter what. Somewhere around South Brunswick would probably be optimal, since that's in the middle of the Edison and Ewing. But we're just looking anywhere that's between Edison and Ewing.

Not bad, I think your biggest issue might be traffic. It tends to be like hell when you get closer to New Brunswick.

But yeah, as long as you stay around there or go further south, you should be able to avoid the high rent junk and sketchy areas of NJ.
