[quote=Anonymous]I live in NYC, I have relatives who live in Westchester so I know that area best. General consensus is that the commute from Westchester is better than from NJ: not only is GC nicer than Penn Station, the Metro-North trains are more reliable than NJ Transit. Everyone complains about the frequent delays on NJ trains. But your DH will be tied to the train schedule -- all my co-workers who live outside the city do. It's ok if you don't mind reading or working on the train during the commute. Also best if one parent stays at home or has a job in the burbs. It's hard when your kids have school events, afterschool activities, dentist appts, all in the burb while you are working in the city -- you can't just pop in and head back to work. I also wouldn't love it if DH and I both worked in the city and there was an emergency with one of our kids -- it's hard to get to them on short notice. Taxes are very high in Westchester. Schools are generally good. [/quote]
