Reply to comment by pencilurchin in Tips for trying to rent in Toms River area? by pencilurchin

I get it, I don’t wanna live with strangers either, thankfully I never had to get a roommate. Your commute is going to be awful, and the costs of tolls, gasoline, vehicle wear and tear are going to eat up any meaningful savings on rent. I’m really confused on how you think Edison and Toms River are the same distance to your job, are you considering Monmouth as North Jersey? Because it’s definitely not…. You say North Jersey, people here are assuming you’re talking about Essex/Hudson/Bergen.

Sorry I am from from very south Jersey so my idea of north Jersey probably goes a little more South. My job is not located that far north. Edison is the same driving distance as my job as Toms River due to the fact my job is around Long Branch.

No need to apologize. If your job is in the Long Branch area, Toms River will be fine geographically. As you pointed out, it’s mainly retiree places. I worked in Toms River for a while and commuted from North Jersey and I loathed it. I wasn’t able to find a place there that fit my needs. Wish you and your roommate best of luck!

Thanks! It is mind blowing to me the amount of 55+ housing and lack of all other housing!
