Where in NJ are you trying to get to? This will help determine what your best public transportation options are. It might seem scary if this is your first time in the US, but there will be plenty of people out and about at 10pm and Both New York and NJ are much safer than people would have you believe. Might be a huge pain in the ass to schlep a couple hours to your destination but you’ll be absolutely fine.

Around what area in NJ do you need to get to? That really changes the equation here. I wouldn't hesitate to use NYC and NJ public transportation on a weekend from 10PM - 1AM.

First, Take the AirTrain to the LIRR Jamaica station. Take the LIRR train to New York Penn Station/34th Street in Manhattan. If you are staying in or around Hoboken, Harrison, Newark, or Jersey City, then you can take the PATH train into NJ 24/7 and can Uber from within NJ, as it'll be cheaper.

If you are going somewhere not on the PATH line, from New York Penn Station, catch a NJ Transit commuter rail to the closest station that you need. Then you can Uber from there. Most NJ Transit commuter rails end for the night at 1AM.

One of the biggest insulating factors in home prices are schools.

We do pretty well with them.

Stuff will stall, stuff will probably pull back a bit, but it won't crash. Even in 08, the only people who got really burned were the ones who bought in 06 or 07, and had to sell before 10.
