Moved to Bumfuck nowhere, Sussex after living all my life in suburban Passaic. Can confirm that it’s more affordable here. Also there’s like nothing to do out here in Bat Country

I’m confused, are cities off the table, or are you just looking for small towns? Because with that price range you could possibly find an older apartment in places like downtown Jersey City, downtown Newark, Hoboken for ~2k or possibly less and you’d be less bored

Open to any suggestions. Just in NJ. Thanks.

I was just surprised no one else pointed out that you have some flexibility with that price range at least up here in NNJ. Most cities in NJ that have a large rental stock should have some apartments in that range.

So I’d look for cities you would want to move to and see what you can find. I think you’d have some options pretty much all over Hudson, Essex, and some of Union and Bergen counties despite these generally being the less affordable ones

you will be able to find decent garden apartments with offsite laundry under 2k.

I live in Elmwood Park, 2 br in a 2-family house, and I pay less than 2k/mo, might be worth a look

Mahwah also has some relatively inexpensive apartments if you can find one
