How far is Jersey City from NYC?
I have not yet decided whether I will be living in Manhattan or Brooklyn. It looks like I will be working in Jersey City (financial district). How is the commute from Manahattan and Brooklyn to Jersey City? I should not have a car to make this commute, right?? My boyfriend, whom I live with, is going to school in Brooklyn

Answer 1 :
why commute? why dont you live in jersey city? But the commute from Manhattan is about 10 minutes on the PATH if you're gettin off at Exchange Place, though it could be a little more, i havent gone in awhile.
Answer 2 :
Jersey City is just on the other side of the river from Manahattan so its VERY close. But if you are working in JC, why not live there? It would be a little cheaper than NYC.
Answer 3 :
jersey city is very close to nyc... if you're living in brooklyn, take subway to the world trade center.. the PATH train leaves from there and the first stop is Exchange place in jersey city... it's maybe a 5 minute ride... there are also stops at Grove street and Journal square in Jersey City which is an additional 5-10 minutes.
Answer 4 :
It's only 4 minutes' ride on the PATH from WTC station to Exchange Place station once the train gets rolling. http://www.panynj.gov/CommutingTravel/path/html/NWK_WTC_Weekday.html You DEFINITELY should not try to keep a car. And as other posters have said, you should consider living in JC or Hoboken, as there are some lovely neighborhoods with cheaper housing than Manhattan or Brooklyn.
Answer 5 :
I gotta agree with all of the answers saying that you should consider living in Jersey City (if you can afford a Manhattan or downtown Brooklyn, then you can easily swing the Newport section...many high rise apartments by the river). Plus you won't get "double taxed" for working in New Jersey and living in New York. Nevertheless...it's a 10 minute PATH train ride from World Trade Center to Exchange Place (1st stop in Jersey City) and you won't need a car to do it.
Answer 6 :
JC is actually nice, why dont you just live there. Brooklyn sucks
