Is it worth the rent to stay in west village socially? Or just stay in exchange place in jersey and commute to midtown?

Why does it have to be West Village vs JC? There are plenty of other neighborhoods more affordable than the West Village before considering JC! Consider Hudson Yards or Hell’s Kitchen.

I lived in west village for about 3 years and loved it. Was expensive but made it work with roommates. I don’t think it has anything to do with proximity to midtown, and honestly it was less about a specific thing to do/place to go (which there are a lot of), it was more about the normal stuff in life. It oozes charm and is just great to “be” in. Even if you’re just running errands or going to the gym or just walking around, it’s got a whole different vibe. It’s also got a lot of great spots to eat / drink - great for dating, or just hanging out. It’s also surprisingly super neighborhoody.. people knew me by name, and in some way it was reassuring to have a feeling of belonging in a place like nyc. I’ve since lived in many other neighborhoods in the city and while all of them have been great for different reasons, west village was special.
