Currently in Brooklyn, NY, it's 30 min to lower manhattan on this side. On the NJ side, it's probably about the same from Hoboken/Jersey City.

- YesThatTom2 9y agoNJ can be 30-120 minutes depending on many factors. From my house in NJ to the office is 90 minutes including a 15 minute walk to the train station. Last Monday there was a delay on the NJ train and the subway so it was 2 hours door-to-door. That's why I work remotely 2-3 days a week. PS. I work at stackoverflow.com
- PeterFBell 9y agoBut Brooklyn hardly avoids the additional costs of NYC. That said, if you find a 4 bedroom on 1/4 acre of land somewhere near a subway for under $300k, let me know and I'll move back :)
- itschekkers 9y agoeven in Greenpoint/Williamsburg/Bed-Stuy/Hoboken you're still paying 1500 a month to share with a few roommates though.
- phyller 9y agoI thought Williamsburg was more expensive than most places in Manhattan now? You can find a ton of cheaper places in Manhattan (still expensive) if you are willing to go farther north. But then you have to deal with a longer subway trip. It's odd that commuting to midtown from Stamford, Connecticut is about the same from Inwood, Manhattan. If you don't mind an hour commute, and you work in midtown, metro north is really good and Stamford and the areas around are really nice and much cheaper. You can buy an actual house.
