Something of note here is that living in NYC would mean also paying the 4% city tax on income. $3200/month in Jersey City is therefore a little more affordable than $3200/month in NYC proper. Still, I agree with your point about cultural differences between Jersey and NYC.

I appreciate this! I was considering the larger complexes simply because I have more anecdotal reviews of them and don't trust myself to find a good apartment without some word from others (I'm a little dumb, and certainly naive when it comes to renting).

Is there a generally accepted way on how to find and vet these apartments?
