Welcome to my neck of the woods! (NJ resident, but work in NYC).

NYC is great, but I almost view it as like a theme park these days... it's a blast while you're there, but at the end of the day you're exhausted and just want to go home. Plus it's like half the price living across the Hudson as it is in the city itself, although certain parts of northeastern NJ where I'm at are starting to creep up to Manhattan-lite prices in terms of rent and overall cost of living.

Yes, we're in Jersey City, and literally right on the Hudson, it's not a cheap area, but still starkly cheaper than Manhattan.
