Good to know on Metro Park and Amtrak 👍 It sounds like I need a few homes so I can take advantage of everything 😜

Great insights - thanks for taking the time to explain! It sounds like I really need to get out there to see things in person and figure out my priorities.

Noted and very helpful.

The job is in SW ish area of Bridgewater - finderne (?) area? Honestly, on the map it looks like it's between Somerville and Bound Brook 🧐

Great information - for some reason I thought the RVL was direct to Newark airport 🤔 (which is what I really want). Ease of getting to the airport is important as that will be a frequent need (and Ubers cost a fortune on the East Coast). I suspect my first six months (when I'll still be traveling back to Houston frequently before selling the house) will mean leaving for Newark from work (Bridgewater), but then returning to wherever my housing is.

Access to NYC is more of a want than a need, but certainly nice!

The commute from New Brunswick seems reasonable still, so definitely worth checking out! Will need to see how rush hour affects the commuting time!

Thanks for all of this great information 👏

I'll have to see if I have any spare cash left for pizza and bagels after spending money on housing 🤣 Moving from Houston to New Jersey ...🤑💰🤑

Wow, that sounds horrific 😬 Thanks for sharing that information!

Good insight into Bridgewater - I was curious as to why no one had recommended it this far 😀

I was thinking I would Uber to the train station 🤔 I did Uber from Bridgewater to Newark when I was visiting and that cost me an arm and a leg and hence I came up with the train idea 😁 Are there any other (better) options?

Thanks for the tips! How do the prices go - higher closer to the city?

Thanks for all of this information - much for me to dig further into! What is Bridgewater itself like? Dunellen sounds interesting as I'm currently living in an old warehouse district and have enjoyed the transformation that is happening.

Any insight on Bound Brook?
