We are mostly residential, but if this is your takeaway I think you need to walk around a bit more. Also I have one trick that gives me easy access to the PATH, but it's kind of controversial. I PATH into the city in the morning, bus back home. Never really felt unsafe here.

There's a bit more on Palisade. I walk to the PATH (told you it was controversial).

I've walked to the PATH before. Love to grab breakfast at Philippine Bread House on the way.

Takes me 20-25 minutes, it's really not bad. Biking would be pretty quick.

Also the 87 runs to the PATH. And the light rail.

Being comfortable riding bikes is the ultimate hack to making it very easy to live in the heights. And now that Hoboken also uses Citibike, it's even better. If you must commute to NYC , you can ride or walk to two PATH stations, two ferry terminals or take the bus to Port Authority. Do not even consider getting a car. Central Ave is much better than it looks at first pass.
