Lmao I am aware things will be different and didn’t say anything about those things. But still funny.

What's your budget? "Budget" + Nice + Space + Room for car + closer to PATH + Bike into JC is a hard list of requirements. What are the need to haves vs the nice to haves?

Jersey City Heights might be a fit. It's not super close to the PATH, parking is a pain in the ass, but it is more reasonable than downtown, it's safe, and you can find a place with a yard if that's what you mean by space.

I just listed some nice to have things. The main thing is being central to those three locations and safe enough to have a car to park/ bike in mornings. Budget is probably around $2000-2400 if it has laundry in building or unit. PATH is not necessary. I have lived in New Haven, CT for two years and briefly lived in Washington Heights so am definitely familiar with how things are different.

For your budget & other requirements, best neighborhoods are likely the Heights, McGinley Square, Westside, Bergen Lafayette.

Parking is notoriously difficult in the Heights, so you might consider budgeting $150-200/mo for an off-street spot if that's the neighborhood you choose.

ETA: just saw some of OP's responses to other posts. Heights would definitely be the most convenient option.
