My dad, husband, and brothers take the commute daily. It is my understanding from them that if you don't leave the city by 2:30pm you could expect to take at least 2 1/2- 3 hours to get home. They leave the house at 4:30am to get into the city and say it is fine at that time. It takes about 1 1/2 hours to 2 to get in. If you leave much later than that you could expect significant delays. I think if you are not leaving the city by 2:30 it is best to wait until after 6ish.

Was wondering if you were still interested or if you have found a home. I could explain the commute and traffic the pros and cons. As many have found out the pros out way the cons there are currently many nice available homes that may suit your needs. Give me a call if you or any of your friends or relatives would like more information. O e-mail me @ homehelp@ptd.net

Thanx,

It's not a short commute at all, but many people in the area do make the trek. I personally would not try this commute on a daily basis unless you like having 4 to 6 hours of travel in your day. :(

Some people take the train from Port Jervis (or even Dover NJ) that at least allows them to sleep on the way to and from the city....

It would be ideal if you can work from home (telecommute) most of the time and only need to go into the city occasionally.
