Jersey City is fine and can be quite convenient to Manhattan if you live near one of the 3 PATH stations. Waterfront can be managed without a car and other parts of the City allow for free street parking (old car recommended.)
You get what you pay for and you get it at half the cost of a similar Manhattan apartment.

I understand it as a fact but I was wondering if you're saying that living in J-city is not so good or are you saying it's a good idea? Your remarks sound kind of facious.
That's something you need to decide for yourself. You should consider any of the waterfront/near waterfront communities in Hudson County, including Jersey City Heights, Weehawken, North New York, Edgewater, North Bergen. All of which have varying degrees of access to NYC..some require a car, some have public transportation/train/light rail access.
Other than that...the most affordable places to live in NYC are typically far out places with either poor/awkward/2 zone access to public transportation with long commutes, or the Bronx. If you are looking for afforable rents, the Bronx should always be at the top of your list. Look to other Bronx threads for more info, or create one with specific questions/concerns/neighborhood info.
Thats good to hear. I know they broadly expanded the flood zone maps..wasn't sure if Bath Beach was part of that.
