Bronx is out.West New York is in New Jersey. You can commute but its more expensive and longer.Where in Brooklyn ? You can use the subway, fast and despite our complaining a lot cheaper than a car.Do yourself a favor and come see for yourself or at least get a good map so you have some idea the distances involved.
west new york is actually in new jersey, unless you just mean the west side in nyc- but that area is pretty pricey. there are ok places in the bronx, but it s about an hour away from manhattan. brooklyn s nicest areas are too expensive- you might try looking in queens. it really depends on your budget though.
The commute is pretty shorter from West New York and Union City. It is easy to get to Port Authority from these towns. They are just as safe if not safer than parts of bklyn and the bronx. And you get to look at a great view of the city from Blvd East. The major down side of these towns is the bus stops running around 12AM and doesn t start again till around 6 AM
West New York (located in NJ) is strict and recently had a curfew until the NJ courts overturned it.I would opt for Brooklyn over West New York.
Brooklyn all the way
