Hello
DH called on Friday to say that he's been offered a transfer to the New Jersey office and what did I think? Mulled it over and decided that it's too good an opportunity to turn down. We are currently thinking of going for 2 years and that we will rent out our house here and rent a flat.
I know nothing about New Jersey! Have been to New York for 3 days which is the sum of my knowledge of the area. DH lived in Battery Park for a year approximately 12 years ago and goes to the New Jersey office a couple of times a year but stays in Manhattan.
His office is in the Exchange Place/Paulus Hook area and ideally I'd like to live somwhere where he doesn't have a long commute as he currently has a 1.5 hour journey each way and it seems a good opportunity to cut that down.
Can anyone give me any advice/information on nice areas to live that are within about half an hour from Exchange Place? We don't have children so schools are not something we have to factor in. In an ideal world we'd like to live somewhere with easy(ish) access to Manhattan, nice places to eat/drink and access to shops/supermarkets without having a car. I realise this may be unrealistic
Any advice/recommendations welcome - thanks.
