Consumerism Commentary: Looking for Apartments, Update 1

  • Kyle · 3 years ago
    I used to live in Edgewater, and now in a town just north of Hoboken. NJ's Gold Coast area is booming with tons of construction, but you should be able to find a rental for around $2000, no?

    btw, I enjoy your site. Thanks!

    Thanks, Kyle! Finding a rental for around $2,000 is not a problem -- finding one (a 2BR) for around $1,500 is. There are some really beautiful locations in that area of New Jersey, but I'll be going back to a long commute. If I were still working in Newark it wouldn't be as bad.

    I'll find a way to make something work.

    Yeah, 2BRs for around $1500 is tough to find. My rent at an apt on River Road back in 2001 was $1700 for a one bedroom. I love the area because of the proximity to Manhattan and it's not quite suburban living, which I'm not quite ready to tackle. Good luck with your search!

    We actually rent in Manhattan in Harlem for $1575 for a 2 bedroom with washer & dryer in the unit.

    Riverdale in Manhattan is pretty decent for rentals as well.
