I just got a job near Monmouth, NJ.  What are some nice towns (ie: non-ghetto, Sec8) for my wife & I to move?

Toms River is a nice location. Even though I lived in NJ for a short time, I lived in southern NJ. I do believe that you can go to the FBI website to pull cap reports for the specific locations that your looking to rent in to determine if it is safe. If not, I know you can go to the specific township's website and find that information. However I do believe that your going to have a difficult time finding a rental for that amount in safe/nice locations. Unless your company is willing to subsidize the housing, I would think about increasing that amount.

As an apartment dweller myself in Grinnell, I would take a look at the following websites: the first from the Grinnell Chamber of Commerce, the second link is from the Yellow Pages switch boards and lists a couple of other options that the Chamber does not include, but should not be left out (namely West Town (newer and nicer, larger complex) and Wiltfang (where I live, they're older, but I like it here). Hope this helps.

I live in Springfield and I love it here. I have lived here in the area my whole life and wouldn't trade it for the world. I have traveled all over the country and visited other cities of similar size and I think Springfield is the best. The streets are easy to understand and get around on, the traffic is never that bad. The shopping is pretty decent here and if you want more then Branson is only half an hour away. Or drive to KC, it's only about 2.5 hours away. I don't know if you are familiar with the area but the weather is variable. One day its cold the next its super hot. But its kinda nice that way. We have 4 beautiful seasons and lots of outdoor activities here.  We have several colleges but the population is diverse, its not all kids. Restaurants here are good, lots of choices. Springfield is the birthplace of Cashew Chicken and I think we have like a couple hundred Chinese restaurants. There is one on about every corner.  =)  Springfield is also the home of Brad Pitt and his family if that interests you at all. Though he doesn't visit as much as he used to now that he is with Angelina. =)  If you have any more specific questions or are interested in a certain neighborhood I would be happy to give you my opinion if you send me a message. Hope you get to make the move here to Springfield I think you will like it!

Try SoccerBars.com - there are plenty of NJ soccer bars there but you'll have to pick the towns that are in northern NJ.

Avondale and Ortega on the west side of the St. John's River are both excellent areas to live.  Also anywhere out Atlantic Blvd around Kernan Blvd.  Of course the beaches are all nice but expensive ... Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jax Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach.  I would avoid areas like the southside and orange park as the traffic is horrific!!!!  Also, avoid anything downtown.

Well, I don't know the SAFEST, because I havn't been everywhere, but I can tell you about 3 places that I have been that seem nice to raise a family.\n#1- I grew up in a suburb called Grandview Heights in Ohio. (By Columbus) It's not real big, but it is quiet, great schools, great location, no trash on the ground, kind of pricey (well...prob. not compared to CA),temperatures go from -10(with windchill) to maybe 100(those are extremes, though), we don't get a lot of snow, though weather in Ohio can be sunny one minute and rainy the next and it's mostly white.(Don't know if that matters to you) It's 10 minutes from downtown, 10 minutes from OSU and 5 minutes to shopping. Now Columbus itself is rough in some parts, but Grandview is NOT at all! Don't speed in Columbus!\n#2- I'm currently in Luna Pier, MI. It's just North of Toledo, OH. It's right on Lake Erie with beautiful homes, though there's not much right here, shopping is about 12 minutes away(freeway) in Toledo. It is truly a SMALL town!(Mostly black and white)It's pretty windy.\n#3- Moon Township, PA (by Pittsburgh) is nice, convenient and clean. Plus, they don't tax on clothes and they have no federal tax! It's by an army base. Mixed races.Nobody seems todo the speed limit, except by schools. \nNow I've been to Cherry Hill, NJ...NOT a pretty place! NJ's roads are confusing, frustrating and it's like one city after another, hardly any green. Plus, it has one of the highest crime cities in the U.S, along with Indiana. Virginia's tax is insane!!! Hopes this help a little!

Hi! I live in S. Jersey, but we are about to move to Rockville, MD.  I know for a fact that in Pennsauken on Route 130 there is the Cerebral Palsy School.  I think you should start there. You didn't specify what part of NJ you were interested in, but I hope this info helps you. From my friends that are teachers, most state that their salaries are based on the area.

I have some friends moving there and she's been looking for a job.  There is supposedly a very large job market there.  Not only many jobs available, but many good jobs.\n\nIt's a great place for someone on the east coast looking for decent pay and willing to relocate!

My dad was stationed at Schofield and I loved living there. There are many issues you will need to consider. First off the cost of living is pretty high. Everything costs more and I mean EVERYTHING. There are lots of jobs but you are going to get crackin' right now on finding employers that will work. There are a several civilian companies that do lots of work with the military and hire many people such as yourself. If you check out monster, hotjobs, etc you should see some open jobs at Hickham and Pearl Harbor. That would be a good place to start. Since your wife is from Hawaii she can prepare you for the culture shock.

Hi Urban!\nNow that the housing market is finally looking up, it's the perfect time to seek out a new place to live. This summer you need to shake off that "lucky I even have my folks to live with" mentality, polish up your shoes, and explore your living quarters options! There are fun, flexible, fantastic places out there just waiting for someone like you!\nNow, get out there and pound the pavement. Beat on some doors until you latch onto that incredible tree house or fort you always wanted!\n(I heard  your area is a great place to find a cardboard box near a dumpster behind the pizza joint?)\n-viqueur

Anywhere is an improvement over Oakland.  If you like California, go to the central valley.  Tracy is booming, so is Modesto.

If you want peace and quiet, combined with a cosmo environment, your best bet is to move to the South Coast - around the smaller 'towns' such as Shoreham-by-Sea, Worthing, Crawley or Horsham.  You have the peace, less crime, good schools, yet you are still close to the city for those all important shopping trips.  It is beautiful.  I used to live in London - once you live down on the coast (not forgetting the kids enjoying themselves especially in the summer), you never look back!

It depends on where you want to move.  I lived in Crystal Creek at Warm Springs, Henderson, NV 89014  Very affordable and the place is pretty decent.

i dont know if you are considering buying a house there, but one way to find out about good and bad neighborhoods is by logging onto homes.com. it tells you by zipcode which places are ok and which to stay away from. just click on crime info. good luck with the move!!!!

Jacksonville is the best. They have all kinds of stuff to do.Plus put the word out at your job that your new in town.I'm sure that you will have volunteers that want to show you the town.I lived in Savannah about 2hours north and I went there to party for the weekend and met my boyfriend we have been together for 3 years now.It a friendly town.

Broomfield, Northglenn, Superior are good northern suburbs. Parker, Highlands Ranch are good too (south and west of Denver). Stay out of Lakewood, Littleton, Westminster, Commerce City, Erie.
