Around 6-7 years now, love it. There’s more to do than just go to the wolf chase mall, Shelby farms and Beale st. I think the thing that was difficult for me to get used to was traffic and the way roads work around here as well as the driving etiquette. If you need any advice hmu

Thank you! I love Rahway. I was looking at a couple of complexes there, but got priced out. They required a salary of 81,000 to rent a one bedroom!

Well hey there! Nice to meet a fellow ex-mid southerner.
I can’t wait to get up there. How long have you been living there?

Fellow former Memphian who moved up here. Much better, I also saw a Shelby county plate up here once and had to do a double take 😂.
There is seriously way much more to do up here and safer than Memphis. Also if you’re not looking to spend high rent prices you can always go a bit further south than Princeton, the commute isn’t much further and gives you more options.
I wouldn’t listen to people who say South Jersey is bad, full of crazy republicans, etc. these people have never left the state more than likely.

Similarly, with the hosta and deer, if you have rabbits in your area, they will eventually eat the hosta once other foods are gone.
The rabbits by me love to destroy the asiatic lillies first, then move to the lirope. I use wire surrounds to keep them away as much as possible...

We’ve been very happy NJM auto insurance customers since 1970. Never ever a problem with claims. we live 5 miles from their campus however, so we have dealt face to face with them for some issues.

Piscataway has a lot of rental options and is close to Plainfield. Rahway especially but cranford does too as well plus both have train stations and a good downtown for to things in. Rahway is more down to earth than cranford, I think that's your best bet

Plainfield is on the Raritan valley train line. If your school is within walk distance of the station, consider looking at train stop towns further west out the line.

Keep in mind that "less water usage over the summer" also means it doesn't consumer as much water as turf grass overall. Make sure your yard is graded properly and your drainage is on point. For me, living at the bottom of a hill, it would turn my backyard into a bog.

That may have been your experience… But I have it on good authority from people who I trust that would have no reason to lie to me that they got dropped after a single claim. And honestly? It stands to reason that they might drop you after one claim to keep rates low.

Same here. I have not had to call them too many times, but when I did, they were great. No insurance company has come close to their rates in quite some time (I can only speak on having a clean driving record)

Progressive was more expensive for me. We have 2 EVs in the household, might be why.

I can't speak to Geico - but I've had NJM since I started driving in 1992. I now have them for home owners as well, and they have been wonderful. They were amazing and responsive during Sandy when I had tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage to my home. They are my ride or die, pardon the pun.

My brother teaches in Plainfield and commutes from Ocean County every day. The traffic is bad up there regardless of where you're coming from.
North Jersey has a faster pace, but you have tons of options for food and culture. Any of the surrounding towns will have rent you can afford. Iselin is right near a major railroad hub, Clark is right next to the parkway. Monmouth County may also be an option for you depending on your car situation.
Welcome to our awesomely cultural, diverse and inclusive state!
