2. Harrison
Harrison, NJ is neatly tucked inside Passaic River’s bend. What’s more important, it’s straight on the PATH line which connects Newark Penn Station and World Trade Center. That way, you’re in Manhattan in 20 minutes flat, and this treat will cost you $2.75 per ride or only $89 per month. If you decide to take your chance here, you’ll save plenty on rent since 1-bedroom – 1-bathroom apartments usually go for between $1,500 and $2,000 a month. 2-bedroom apartments are usually $500 more expensive, but can be found for less as well.
