Those areas arent bad, and it really depends on how much you are looking to spend. I live about 10 mins from Fort Dix/Mcguire in Bordentown and you can find some nice apartments here. Traffic to Dix wouldnt be too bad since you can virtually take my road (545) all the way out or take 206 to 68 and its a really easy drive.
