Question for those based out of TEB
Was curious if anyone can recommend good places to live around TEB within a 1 hour callout window. Thought I would ask here first as some of you may be based out of TEB. I know it will be expensive, etc. I am more concerned with areas to avoid or areas to consider as I may have to relocate soon. Thanks.

Tar Heel (sorry for your choice of teams),
I fly for Continental, and was based in Newark for 2 1/2 years. I was in a crashpad in beautiful (not) Elizabeth, NJ. We had a guy that flew for AirNet as a single-pilot Baron Captain. I'm not sure if he had a 1-hour callout, but I think that's about the amount of time it took to get from EWR to TEB. It was truly a crashpad, he didn't "live" there, though he was there all the time. As of last year, that crashpad was $260/mo. If you live elsewhere, it might be worth it to try the crashpad for a few months before you overcommit to something you might not be happy with.

Hackensack
Used to rent a room in Hackensack(about 10 years ago). Stay on the west side as it's much nicer that way. About a 15 minute commute to TEB....and get a map...there are a ton of ways to get there to avoid traffic.

Just live at Jet Aviation. Gym, showers, snooze room, free internet, eat the cookies and drink the coffee for food. I've considered it as a way to get back into freight, but "we" are "based" there, so I wouldn't feel quite as bad as I would if "we" used a different FBO.
