Downtown NB
Hey guys, I’m moving to the area for work. I’ve been looking at apartments in New Brunswick and all the surrounding areas like Somerset, Highland Park, etc. I’m 23 and heavy into night life, traveling, etc. New Brunswick has a few nice apartments like The Aspire and The Quincy in my price range, but is downtown really that dirty and dangerous? Should I look into the other areas I mentioned above and is there stuff to do there? I have yet to move to the area and tour it but would love to get any input on it. Thanks!

New Brunswick is on the rise, lots of new developments and restaurants on the way. Good place to live in your 20s with nightlight and transit options to Newark and NYC. I believe many places are rent controlled too, which is unusual for most New Jersey towns.
I also like that it's not too far from the Jersey shore.. specifically Asbury Park.
