You should also try looking into the Journal Square neighborhood, there's a few high rise buildings there with amenities and the such and more on the way. Also decently priced apartments in older buildings. The neighborhood is up-and-coming, still a little rough at night but not dangerous, definitely less nightlife than downtown JC but that's quickly changing.

Also considering apartments in Weehawkn. Estuary in particular. Any suggestions about that area? Is it quieter/safer than JC?

I don't know Weehawken too well. It is quieter I believe, not sure about safer. It's not as walkable as Jersey City or Hoboken. And also not as convenient for commute to lower manhattan. I think you have to either take the lightrail to hoboken to catch the PATH or you can take the ferry to midtown and the subway/bus.

I used to work in the LES before my office moved to Brooklyn. If you want to make your wife's commute less hellish, try to stay near the PATH. Maybe consider Harrison. There's loads of new buildings there due to building up the area near the PATH and the soccer stadium, a lot of new restaurants...
