Hey, I'm happy to see you accepted a teaching position since we last spoke! Echoing what others said below to try to find someone who owns an individual property as opposed to a complex. New Brunswick and Piscataway are good bets since they're college towns. Look for Middlesex County groups on Facebook as people will often post there. Even if you do end up in a larger complex, mentioning that you're a teacher usually has some type of perk. My husband was able to get our security deposit down to $250 since we were renting in the town that he works in.
