Checked out an apartment today that seemed pretty nice. $360/month, plus electric and cable/internet. Thai, Dunkin Donuts, laundromat, and liquor store all within walking distance (what else do I need?). Train station only 10 minutes away, train ride only 35 minutes. Two roommates, both of whom don't seem to be around a lot. Typical sized room, and a backyard! I like it. Hopefully, tenant living there now (that I would replace) finds a nice place so I can move in. I like my total commute time going down to about 1:15 tops, as opposed to 2:30-3:00. I'm sure my car would appreciate it, too.

[EDIT] I forgot to mention this, which is odd, because I said it at least three times when I was there...it SMELLED good there. Like, really good. I liked the scent. Like candles and potpourri, and homey comfort smell.

Nice! Are the roommates good? Obviously not as good as me, but appropriate substitutions must be made.

They seeemed friendly. The guy who lives there now (that I'd be replacing) said, "This is the first time in a week I've seen them here together!" They don't cook that often, and get a lot of takeout. The bathroom is FULL of girly things, but I can work around that. I have my own bedroom, with a closing door, and that's ultimately what matters.

$360 a month?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? HOLY SHIT! TAKE IT! That is insane. And the fact that you are only 1:15 away is not bad at all! I pay 3 times that, and my commute to work is an hour!!!!

That's INSANELY CHEAP! Where the hell is it?! I am assuming it's Jersey, and if it's 35 minute commute on train it has to be near me! THAT IS INSANE AND AWESOME AND HOORAY FOR YOU!

AWESOME!!!
