Interesting thread. Have looked into JC/Hoboken but the prices there are still surprisingly high - not enough of a discount to justify a huge lifestyle move. The PATH/ferry is not great on weekends or off hours.
LIC is a pretty quick commute if you're in Midtown near the 7, underrated imo.
Almost everyone I know has eaten the higher rent and a handful moved to Brooklyn (usually just same rent, more space - i.e. 2 bedroom for a couple to get some WFH space)
Hoboken is great and somewhat underrated but prices there are close to Manhattan at this point.
Looking at LIC, but only near a subway line.
I’m not a fan of LIC or NJ. Maybe if you have a family it’s fine, but if you’re single stay in Manhattan.
How much is a decent apartment now? Think associate with SO.
1 bedroom downtown with the perks you'd expect in your late 20s/early 30s (dishwasher, W/D in unit, decent building, unit not disgusting) will easily run you $4-5k at minimum. Closer to $6k if you want something actually nice, or with enough space for 2 people to WFH.
If you're willing to live in Fidi, Murray Hill, etc you might be able to sneak in around $3.5-$4k but you will live with a lot of analyst neighbors
