New graduate need recommandation on apartment

Submitted by A_Master_Friend t3_117rumg in jerseycity

Hi everyone,

I recently graduated from Rutgers and finally got a job in Hudson Yard area(still in process tho). I am currently living in Newark area and considering move to Jersey City for less commute time. The google map shows that the commute time is almost the same if I live near the Harrison Path Station compared to Jersey City appartment(Grove St, etc). I am really confused about this and desperately need some advice on the appartment location.

I found a post of 1000$ apparment looking for roomate near the Harrison Path Station

My budegt is 1500 - 1800$(sharing the living room apparently).

Any advice is appreciated.

yeah, feels the same, the only thing I dont like Harrison is that there is no decent supermarket or a mall.

Harrison is a bedroom community. Your positive is the train to take you to where ever. Hopefully it's cheaper but I have no idea how pricing works these days (makes no sense to me)

JC is more of a full city. Hoboken is closer and like 2/3 of a city more than Harrison. If you can afford all 3 it's a lifestyle question, and how much money you want to save VS access to things you'd want to use alot.

You don't want to solely rely on the Seabra in Harrison, but there is a Whole Foods in downtown Newark, it's about a 20 minute walk from where I live in Harrison.

I work in Hudson Yards and live by Grove St Path(5min walk). With your budget, living near grove st will be tough.

You'd definitely be able to find a 1br in your budget within a 15-20 min walk of the PATH, you're young, you don't mind a little walk or bike ride, right?

Some offices are no longer allowing e-scooters inside in Manhattan. I’d look into this further.
