On Apartment Hunt

Well, my displeasure towards Moving is well known. Guess what? I've gotta move again! I am on the hunt for an apartment. I am in a dilemma on whether I should stay in the Edison area or venture out to "unexplored" areas of New Jersey. I am looking at Jersey City as an option. It's got a beautiful Hudson waterfront and a lot of high rise buildings. But then the apartments won't be as spacious as the ones that I have been living and is really expensive. Positives also include easy access to NYC, hopefully an "active" lifestyle and a somewhat short commute to work.

So far, I have found two good websites - HousingMaps (which is amalgamation of Craigslist & Google Maps) and MyNewPlace.com. Both have been handy. I'd probably start making visits to a few shortlisted places next week.

In the meanwhile, if you know of any good apartments in the Jersey City area or any area north of Woodbridge (along the Garden State Parkway), please let me know.
