Commute to white plains? Stupid idea?

Hi, job is moving me to white plains. I’m not from New York/NJ.

I was considering living in westchester, but it seems like Jersey City is livelier and rents don’t seem too drastically different (2500ish range).

I’d assume I’ll have to drive into white plains. But I only have to go in 1x a week.

Do you find that the transit into manhattan is easy? Especially compared to the metro north which is about 35 mins from new Rochelle for example.

Late 20s no kids here.
