Washington Heights is not that dodgy (neighborhood by neighborhood) - the problem is that it could be a 30 minute subway ride to midtown add another 10-15 to downtown.
For less than peak rents, consider the cities along the western shore of the Hudson River. Hoboken, Jersey City can be a 15 minute ride to midtown.

It's not uncommon to have a 1 hour commute each way. I myself used to commute in to the City 2 hours each way. That's 4 hours of my life pretty much wasted every weekday. In comparison, commuting from Washington Heights would have been a blessing. One of the nicest commutes I had was from Brooklyn Heights, which was just a 4 minute subway ride from Wall St. Very nice neighborhood too. I would highly recommend it, if you can afford the rent.
