New Jersey’s Hoboken. If you want to live closer to Manhattan, Hoboken is a good option. Despite being a New York suburb, Hoboken doesn’t have exorbitant costs. Here, the average monthly rental price for a one-bedroom apartment is $1,550. In contrast, there are at least 2,000 such rooms in Brooklyn. And it just takes ten minutes by rail to get from Hoboken to the heart of New York.
