And the PATH could take you to the financial district in as little as five minutes in some cases. Prime areas like Union City, for instance, are perfect if you\u2019re looking for somewhere with a small town feel while being only about 30 minutes from the city. And you can find tons of luxury <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/summitcourtunion.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">apartments in Union NJ<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a fraction of what you\u2019d pay in Manhattan while being right next to all the action.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Cost of Living is Lower<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rent prices aren\u2019t the only thing that is significantly lower in New Jersey; pretty much everything else is as well. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nj.com\/politics\/index.ssf\/2018\/06\/murphy_agrees_to_reduce_sales_tax_again_in_these_5.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sales taxes are much lower<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> when compared to New York.

We\u2019re not only talking about apartment space, we\u2019re talking about outdoor space in general. The atmosphere is much quieter as well. If you\u2019ve been living in the city for a while, you may have become somewhat desensitized to all the noise.
