First time home buyer looking to invest PERTH AMBOY NJ

[Charles Salumn]

how's it going guys Im in the market to buy my first piece of property  

Originally I was looking at single family homes in Hazlet, Aberdeen, matawan , old bridge  however I was told that Perth amboy Is up and comming with Lots of development 

Does anyone have any experience in this area ? How bad is it.  I will be living there for a few years at least.  My day job is in Manhattan do I will have to commute there everyday   

   I don't want to put myself in the slums.  

Any help would be great
