i live there 
h: jersey city & hoboken have the most convenient access to manhattan than all the other towns on the waterfront (trains, tunnels, bus, ferry).
fort lee does have the gwb which has a bike path (but no train and ferry access is next town over).

The con's outweighed the pro's.
Pro- everything is around, food, clubs, lounges, bars, anything
Cons- noise, roaches/mice (not where I was), expense
If you can find a place in Astoria/Park Slope/BK H, then you should without a doubt go for it as the rent is at least 1/2 of what you would pay for NYC apartments.

I'd get a place in CT. Around where I live NYC is about 1.5 hours away and it's not too bad of a drive depending on if you catch traffic. Or you could find a place near or at Parsippany NJ, its about a half hour to 45 mins away.
Plus Manhatten is expensive if you choose to not live in the ghetto where you'll be shot just for stepping out of your house.

I live a town over from Parsippany... it's a decent area.... but.. in Morris County.. which is one of the most expensive places to live in the country.
