Piscataway or Plainfield is your best bet for renting, cheapest in the area. Piscataway itself probably has 10+ complexes. My particular complex has a relatively easy application, less requirements than other places. 3x rent w/ paystubs, credit check, etc. although that was almost 3 years ago so it could have changed.

Excellent! I’m visiting again in June. I plan to spend a full day or two in Piscataway.

You may have better luck in Piscataway as Rutgers University is a huge presence there. Tons of students - undergraduate and graduate - rent there. Which means complexes may be more flexible on the student loan thing. Good luck and welcome to NJ!!!

Make sure to take a good look around, the areas nearby go anywhere from 'strip mall central' to 'cul-de-sacs' to walkable little downtown and with your budget you should be able to pick which type you want pretty easily.

Piscataway is a nice town, I lived there near the Dunellen border before moving to Memphis.

Enjoy the move! I like it here but NJ can't be beat.
