Price please.

It's very high, but what I experienced in Newport too, unfortunately. I was in Newport ~5 years ago in a small 1br, and those winter electricity bills were double what I'm currently getting charged in a good sized 2br over in downtown (Columbus towers). They definitely had much worse insulation in my Newport apt.
So to your question, they can be high in JC but not THAT high everywhere. Newport was higher than other high-rises in jc in my experience.

Most people post about NYC, but you can definitely post about JC as well!

It’s fine. Not much going on but it’s definitely safe. Your realtor must be nuts to suggest Rutherford instead. Try downtown if you can afford

Grace Church Van Vorst serves breakfast to hundreds of hungry people every Sat & Sun (days that shelters and other services aren't as available). Just show up around 7am.

Look at your bill. Previous months may have been estimated because meter reader couldn't enter your building to read the meter. Also, be careful about "switching" to PSEG partners who are sometimes scammers (without vetting them carefully first).

The electric heat is the culprit. My house has electric heat and we were there for FOUR DAYS only this month, and my bill is 300. We do leave the heat on low when we leave to keep the pipes from freezing, but that's our bill not even being there. It's crazy.

The most interesting thing to watch in JSQ now is to see how they redeveloping the whole neighborhood. JSQ is very safe and you have the path. Heights is cheaper but far from the train, so not very convenient.

Consider Harrison as well. Safe area, pretty quiet compared to JSQ, still easy to commute between Newark or NYC

Not sure if it's the "best" but you can try Hotpads, I've seen room rentals on there.

No doubt, but I imagine JSQ feels a bit more intimidating than say, Maplewood.

Yeah, that would be my guess. I think you mean electric stove, right?

Yes, electric gas and heat. I guess that’s leading to a high consumption.

Exactly my thoughts !

That is a bit high. Check for a few things...
Check to see if there are any other companies listed on the bill as your supplier such as "Constellation Energy" or "Direct Energy". There should only be PSEG on your bill.
Check to verify if the major charges are for electric or gas. If you have baseboard heating or heating by wall unit, those tend to eat up a lot of energy. Baseboard is by far the worst, most expensive and energy inefficient type of heating.

Yes. When we lived in newport buildings, our electricity bill was 650-750 for 3 people. It’s usually due to the older heaters and bad insulation.

Newport is high, and I think it’s because the apartments aren’t well insulated and on the water, so we lose a lot of heat from the heater.
