<p>I don’t understand fully. If you will commute using the LIRR (Long Island Railroad), to the east of Manhattan, then you sure don’t want to start out from New Jersey (west of Manhattan). </p>
<p>Since you said Penn Station LIRR, it sounds like you’re eager to live in Manhattan.</p>
<p>If we knew your destination point on the LIRR, perhaps we could also suggest some cost-effective locations in boroughs of Queens or Brooklyn that are still in NYC, but on your way out towards the LIRR stops. What’s your end-point on the LIRR?</p>
