Inna, I don't know if you're still in the market, but I am relocating and need to sell my home, on Richardson Street, walking distance to the College Avenue campus, right down the road from the Alexander Library. My home is in your price range, is in excellent condition and sounds just right for your daughter. If you are still interested, please email me at: darfodil@aol.com. I plan to list my house very soon, but if we can get together before I do, we can both save the realtor's commission. Good luck.

Inna if still out there I have recently listed the 2 2family homes on 2 connected lots with detached 2 car garage 2 blocks from hospital. Hope 2 hear from you.

Hi Inna,

As you can see, Cathy's listing is good too ... http://durhamwoods.blogspot.com/

It is only 7.3 miles http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=132+Deans+Ln,+NJ+0… from Tracy's home auto service and care 917 669-8209 (cell) that makes life much easier. Tracy's husband Peter used to work at Toyota dealer as senior mechenics, and ever since they open a home auto care, they can help me to repair car 24x7. Yes, when car died on Sunday, I am not afraid of ...

Wow! your unit, Cathy, can also walk to Jersey Ave Train Station to NYC ... http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=Jersey+Ave+station… that is even more desirable...

Dear Cathy,

Your listing is only 1.3 miles http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=85+George+Street,+… famous Rutgers Nicholas Music Center http://mgsa.rutgers.edu/about/NicholasMusicCenter.html that we just enjoyed fantastic Rutgers Music Dept Falcuty Chamber Concert tonight... It was so great that everyone gave the big applause and standed up for long!!!

I also find it very close to Barnes and Noble at North Brunswick http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=121+Fulton+Court,+… that we visit all the time.

What community is this one? could you provide more information about the community? I am sure many Rutgers parents would be very glad to invest in this area ...

As you may know that Rutgers Univ got 1,000 more students accepted the admission and they place many students in hotel, e.g. 340 at Crown Plaza (was Marriott) at Somerset and run school bus over. The rental demand surged after September.

I know this question is older, but on a side note, keep in mind that there are certain loans that let you co-sign for your daughter, which could really help her credit. You could even use the property as an investment after she leaves the area. Best of luck.

111 Redbud Rd Piscataway NJ 08854 2br 1hba townhouse at University Heights right next to Rutgers Univ Livingston Campus near Edison Train Station just sold under attorney review at $249,900 ... listed 8-22-08 sold at 9-12-08, pretty fast, meaning the area is very demanding ...

Dear Inna, did you buy this one? I noticed the major road Sutton Ln just newly repaved by the township, and the University Heights just newly done as well. The whole area is very new and shine.

Of course, I also met some students walking into Rutgers Univ Livingston Campus and find out many in fact drove to park at University Heights, friends' driveway and walk over to Rutgers Univ.

One student said, if not living at the dorm, freshman may be only chose a spot for parking, then has to walk and take school bus to move around to different classes. And, most freshman chose their parking spot right at the huge parking lot next to University Heights. That is to say, if your kids going to Rutgers Univ, and live at University Heights, it would be saving a car and a commute back and forth from and to Rutgers Univ, given the rest the same.

Hey Inna,
does your daughter want to live on campus? walking distance to campus? because if you are going to be buying i would recomend to go about 15 minute drive away from campus. area's such as haddonfield, cherry hill, collingswood,ect....if you have any questions regarding the ares and the financing for te codo i would love to help out since i work for a bank in lending sales that is about 15 minute drive from rudgers. you can call me (267-474-8050) or email me at akanevsky@midacap.com

when /if listed I will be happy to post here as well as other sites I use. If seller decides to fsbo I will let him know of site and suggest he do same.

Thanks everyone for all the great information! To answer your question Cheng, I didn't buy that unit. We are just going to look this Sunday.

That's great to learn, Ken. When you got the listing, could you post an 8-picture link so that many of Rutgers parents can take a look at it. Thanks.

Which campus may be a criteria important in deciding. One of my team members is a Rutgers grad and very familiar with the New Brunswick campus and housing there. I am in process of listing a multiple family home there though it will be above your limits it will have abundant other units for rental income. Feel free to email me for introoductions.

If you know your daughter going to be at Livingston Campus (sorry not Kilmer campus), another one called University Heights at Piscataway http://universityheightsatpiscataway.blogspot.com/ is the closest one as you can click to see ... http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=140092… but the community is almost always sold out.

The implication is that you may NOT get one, but if you do, when you want to sell, it will be very liquidable, as every year there are Rutgers parents like you want to buy for their Rutgers kids ...

I know many students renting in this University Heights. That is to say, if you get a townhouse for under $250k, your daughter can also easily find other Rutgers classmates to sublet.

Rutgers Univ is huge but connected with school bus. The Freshman common courses are very likely to be at Kilmer Campus, so in that case The Commons http://thecommonsatpiscataway.blogspot.com/ is very close to as you can click to see http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&sa…

If your daughter to be at Busch Campus more, then Society Hill at Piscataway http://societyhillatpiscataway.blogspot.com/ is minutes away like Johanna said. http://www.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=9911226…

You may be able to get a 1br condo at The Commons for about $185k to $200k and that's WALK TO Edison Train Station, very easy for your family to visit NYC if you visit your daughter, I guess. There are also 2br condo in this community for $230k and more as you can click to see the MLS listing ... http://msx.mlxchange.com/Pub/EmailView.asp?r=1067702677&…

If you prefer 2br condo or townhouse, Society Hill is also a great choice, and you can get a 2br condo for around $225k to $265k, and townhouse $260k to $290k, depending on the upgrade.

Your daughter doesn't want to live on campus? Its a large part of the college experience. Even if she doesn't, buying a house for 4 years in today's market, especially for someone with no income, like a student, is poor idea. In the absolute best case, you'll come out even versus renting. If home prices continue to stagnate or fall, you'll have cost yourself a lot of money by not renting.

Hi Inna,
Please contact me, I know of many houses in the area that may meet your needs. How far from the University would be acceptable? Are you familiar with the area, the towns, the bus routes, trains, streets?
As a full time agent I have the time to orient you to the area if that is needed. Give me a call and let's see
what can be found.
