Wayne will be expensive. Haledon and Totowa should be where you are looking, though definitely drive around neighborhoods before signing anything. There are decent parts of Haledon and Totowa, and there are BAD parts of each.

WPU alum here, the above advice is pretty solid. Also avoid Paterson. Not sure if it's gotten better since I attended but it wasn't a great place to be once the sun went down.

Have you been in/near Irvington or East Orange? Kinda far but seems to be the cheapest

Honestly, you’re better off looking at certain sections of Paterson over East Orange and Irvington.

Also seems like you should be looking for a roommate to save money.

Can I ask why you say that about Paterson? Safety, price, etc? Found this building that looked great in Irvington. Gated and great amenities and was in my price range, so was gonna keep that one in mind.
