Cost analysis: Hoboken is cheaper than both Brooklyn & the suburbs
The NYTimes published a cost of living analysis for a family living Brooklyn versus a New Jersey suburb. Brooklyn came out 18% cheaper because you don’t need a car (versus two in the suburbs) and a small apartment is cheaper to maintain than a big house. Hoboken is even cheaper than Brooklyn, and you get much more for the same money.
