As others have pointed out you should take the cost of using your car (tolls, gas, etc) into account. But even after taking the cost of commuting into account, it is probably less expensive to live in NJ. Depending on your workhours, traffic may not even be that bad.

Best of luck!

Yeah, I think perhaps I should try the drive a few times to get a better idea. But I do believe you’re right, in terms of expenses. I think it’s a bit cheaper but not as significant as one would hope. But, I guess that just nyc/nj for ya.

Thanks so much for your insight!
