Staten Island: Please Help if You Know
« on: September 14, 2008, 10:05:33 PM »
Hey Guys: I just got a job in Newark, NJ. It works best for me to move to Staten Island. Basically, I'm 26, single (which I want to change) and I want to learn to be Modern Orthodox. I heard that Willowbrook is good and New? Springville is as well. Is there any area that I am oblivious to? Thanks guys. Any ?'s please ask.

Right by South Orange and Irvington. This would only be 30-40 minutes to drive.

Bayonne NJ

A librarian position. I know about Irvington, I just didn't want to hear it. ;)

It MUST be Staten Island. I can't afford Manhattan, but I want access to Long Island, Queens, and Brooklyn (these 3 are too far to live). To help my brother if needed and also for my social situation.

Bayonne is not that far from Irvington

I appreciate it, but for some reason, I must be in the city to help with family problems if they should arise.

the area along Richmond Ave and Richmond Road and Richmond Hill Road look decent.
If someone says something bad about you, say something nice about them. That way, both of you would be lying.

Why not just move to NJ?  Like West Orange where there is a lot of affordable housing?  And you ahve plenty of access to NYC by train...and not as far away from Newark.
