As someone that grew up in sd and now lives in ny the first thing I would say is dont. Regarding finding a place that just all depends on your budget. If you dont want to spend that much hoboken is actually sort of a cool place and a quick path ride from the financial district. And you should not even consider taking your car out here. You will pay 340 a month and never use it.
