Non of those places are quiet low key places at all… their more the opposite.

I would suggest looking at the transit maps and finding towns that are on the lines. If your looking for quiet and low key you’ll have to go further away from NY to find that. Not much but say 15-30 mins out should do fine. Just keep in mind the further away from the city, the less diverse and the more racist but also more quiet and open. Bergen county is pretty diverse but some areas can be really expensive but the further out from the city typically the cheaper the apartments will be. You could even get a house for the price of an apartment in Hoboken. Not sure what your able to afford but if you want diverse and quiet ridgewood is beautiful and has a train station in town. Only reason I’m saying ridgewood is bc you mentioned hoboken and if you can afford hoboken I’m pretty sure you could afford ridgewood
