So my husband got a job on Broadway and right now we're looking to move to NJ, but we need an honest answer on good areas (we have two kids ages 3 and 6) and the shortest public transit to the theater district. We're looking for 2000 or less a month for rent. How are Jersey City, Journal Square, Union City, Hoboken? Also someone told me the transit closes early to NJ and I know that some of his shows will end late-please advise!
Thanks in advance!!!

The commute from Jersey Cit, Journal Sq ( which is Jersey City and Hoboken are all relatively easy into Midtown. Your DH can take the PATH train into the city and then switch where he needs. They run all the time or until very late in the morning like 1 or 2? Don't know about Union City and certain areas of Jersey City are not desirable or places to raise kids. Hoboken is great spot, lots of young families there, but I think it might be hard pressed to find rent for under $2000, I assume you would need at least a 2 BDR.

The closer to the city The more the rent
look a little futher out and the rents go down
Edisonwinter has mentioned and gave you
the approx times from each area
True, the PATH is the only train system (other than the NYC subway) that runs 24 hours. The only NJ Transit line with anything close to that is the NE Corridor line, which has late trains and early trains so there is only a gap of 3 hours or so when the trains stop running (from about 1-4 am or 1:30 to 4:30 depending on direction).
However there are NJT buses that run to some areas, like Weehawken, overnight.

I wouldn't recommend any of the places you've noted if you've got kids- the public schools in all of those towns suck. Unless you can afford private school, you really need to look further out on the rail lines- everyone is "looking for a short commute to Manhattan", but unless you've got big $$, it's not reality.
Are you interested in Maywood? About 45 minutes to Port Authority by bus, or 45 to downtown via train and PATH
