just so you know, you can also park at the north bergen light rail station

Lot on Tonnelle and 51st Street - $3/DAY or $50/MONTH - Open 24hr/7day – No Staff Present - Vending Machines Only - Use of Light Rail Additional - Adult - $2.10 one-way/Monthly $64"
this will give you the luxury of having more options. my advice is for you to stick to the light rail! it will be the fastest and most reliable way in getting to your job.

honestly union city is horrible when it comes to parking, so you need a parking spot...and north bergen isn't much better.
either make sure you live close to a light rail station or close enough to drive and park. do NOT live in secaucus for example if it will require to you drive through route 3 to get to the light rail parking station because it will have built up traffic of all the cars going to the lincoln tunnel.
also north bergen is shaped like an upside down "L" the topper part of north bergen (the area closer to the park) will appear less urban with many residential housing with yards etc. actually looks very nice. there are buildings there too for rent and to own

my advice is to use google maps street view and to drive around to see the area.
also where does your wife work?
