Along the PATH line (subway, runs 24h) might be good. PATH train goes upto 33rd and 6th Ave. in Midtown Manhattan from Newark, NJ. For the budget, you might want to check apartments near Grove Street station area or maybe Journal Square. But generally speaking, downtown Jersey City area (near Grove Street station) is safer than Journal square (also beyond Journal Square is a bit time consuming to commute to the city). You cannot use PATH quick card to ride subways in NYC, so if you need to take subways in NY to commute from 33rd street, you need to pay MTA subway fee separately from PATH. (PATH one way with card is $1.20, without card is $1.50. MTA one way is $2.) So if you need to go further up in Manhattan, you might want to check Queens, NY or Brooklyn, NY.
