Trenton isnt really a big city, not these days. Theres almost no activity past 6pm. There are a couple of cute neighborhoods, but youll be bored quickly especially as someone just 22/25.

Asbury Park is "only" and hour away, but your summer commute time with be significantly worse than winter.

All the replies youre about to get are going to recommend central NJ towns, but I would look at PA by a SEPTA station so you can pop into Philly whenever.

Thank you & Yes, I did some research and it’s definitely not a big city. However, it is close to two which is nice. My job is a rotational program so I would only be here for 9 months before relocating somewhere else. Would the Septa station take me to the beach/ NYC As well?

SEPTA will only take you into Philly. From Trenton, yuo can take NJT into NYC.

There is a train from Philly to Atlantic City (run by NJT), and from north Jersey to many beach towns. However, there is no transit between Trenton and the beach. Unfortunately, most of transit in NJ is about getting you to NYC or Philly, but not so much between NJ cities.
