I am in Doylestown, Bucks County PA, and have driven my whole career to the NYC airports(10 here and 6 at other companies). It can be a PITA to drive, but it beats an airplane commute. Normally, it takes 1:15 to EWR, 1:55 to LGA or JFK for me. Except at rush hour, that can add another 30 to 60 minutes to LGA or JFK. If I am driving to JFK or LGA, I usually leave 3.5 hours prior and then don't sweat it....usually I am there early enough to catch a quick catnap if i choose to.
Taxes are much cheaper in PA than NJ, for what I consider to be a nicer place to live, schools are fantastic,
...disclaimer: I am biased cause I from PA.
NYC is junior, so you will enjoy a bit of artificial seniority. EWR goes very junior cause most commuters hate it as its a PITA to get to if you aren't driving.
Hope it helps.
