Thanks everyone for the comments. Aside from the crazy jug handles ---> no left turn anywhere and the gas pumping law, things are great! No if only the humidity would go away so I can finish moving my stuff in without losing 5 gallons of water from sweat!





Manalapan generally is a very affluent community - mostly ex-NYC ppl. Also it's a real short distance to the Englishtown RaceTrack . If your work is in Manalapan then North Brunswick ain't the best choice - sorry (distance). The better ones would be somewhere between Route 9 and Route 33 - either express or business. Like TGO said, it could be Freehold, Highstown and surroundings, Twin River and East Windsor - the latter two got tons of affordable apartment complexes.

As far as safety and crime rate concerned - North Brunswick, South Brunswick and East Brunswick are all fine - New Brunswick is not.

G'luck and welcome to the NE.

P.S. Yup, humidity is a killer here
