Answer 1 :
If she has a car and you don't then I wold not suggest Newark at all! If she doesn't mind the commute, public transportation wise, Hackensack is excellent. I lived there for about 4 years. Its centrally located to all of the major highways and its a lot safer than Newark.
Answer 2 :
Jersey City. Make sure you are more or less near the PATH route. Much of JC is safe and homey and an easy commute to both Newark and NYC.
Answer 3 :
there are different areas in newark that aren't bad... all these ppl that say stay away from newark probably haven't lived there... i have for the past four years, and as long as u know where to live it's not bad... the section of newark is a great place, but a little pricier than the other sections... if you are interested in a two bedroom apartment, i'm not sure you'll find one as cheap as 1200 a month without utilities... around branchbrook park, there are also very nice neighborhoods in newark... other than that, the university heights/downtown area is the most safe to live...best of luck finding a place
