There werent very nice people. I was shocked to learn you were from round there. I was working at another job at the time and they wanted to promote me which meant I would have to move to Chi town. On a business trip there I went looking and man were people rude and i didnt find enough places worth the high prices and awful attitudes. I quit like 3 weeks later - um and to keep this on topic - I actually quit because of an anti-Dante type surge of artistic power. The corporate world got to be too much of a bitch.
: : The cheapest place i found when I went on my pilgrimage (and scavenger hunt for apartments since it is one of the places i am considering moving to myself) was an apartment for 850 a month for a 1 bedroom bath small kitchen and just as small living room and that was in Leonardo (the not so posh area of NJ).
: : However considering that you already live in NY you are probably use to the higher priced apartments in which case Red Bank may very well be up your alley. One of the place i looked at whish is right by the stash was 2200 a month and it wasnt necessarily spacious but it was definately roomy enough for the designated 2 people that it would accomodate. Another one I had found was about 1200 and had a nice view and seemed comfy for 1 person. However if you dont want to be living in somewhat of a dump that is about as cheap as it is gonna get.
: : I may not be the authority on this however considering I only spent one day looking there, but try apartments.com - I looked there and the prices I gave you are pretty comparible to the ones youll find on that site.
: : Best of luck!
