When I was out there for AirNet I stayed in a crash pad down in Elizabeth, right near EWR. Cost me around $250 a month I believe. The drive was kind of a pain... especially after rolling in around 7am and trying to get back to the house before falling asleep.

My personal experience... this crash pad was almost exclusively Continental and Continental Express pilots and FA's. They were there and gone on their multi-day trips out of EWR. I, on the other hand, was there all the time... and had a schedule pretty much opposite everyone else. When I was getting home, everyone else was up and stirring and making a racket. Sleeping with earplugs became a requirement, and sometimes even that didn't help.

Long story short... if you are on the freight-dog schedule then I would suggest you find a pad that is populated by same. It's much easier to sync up your sleep schedules, and often you can even share rides to TEB.

If you want information on the Elizabeth crash pad drop me a PM.

Hey I starchecked out of there a year ago and my old roommates are currently looking for another rent check I heard. Let me know if you're still interested and I'll give you details. Also: I lived on short final for 24, it was about 2 miles from TEB, VERY good rent for the area, etc.

Karl- I would greatly appreciate any info about that pad. I'm moving out there on Sunday, so that will help me out!

thanks!

Hey no problem, I'll call them up and see what the deal is, hopefully it's still available.....

Well I checked and unfort. the room is not available. I'd get on craigslist and just looks for rooms in the area. Good neigborhoods nearby are Rutherford/East Rutherford, Hasbrouck Heights, Carlstadt, Lyndhurst, Hackensack, etc. All are within quick driving distance, but prices for places can vary greatly. Good luck.
