It's very close to the Harlem-125th St stop on Metro-North, and on a weekend you can get out quickly to North White Plains, Tarrytown, or Greenwich for more interesting rides.

The OP is trying to get a generous "cost of location" increase so if he makes good on this, he can pick pretty much any decent location anywhere from TriBeCa to UES/UWS. Plus the spouse wants the live in the core of what most consider prime Manhattan. She's right about this and how can you fault that - I wouldn't move to NY and live in the burbs which, as nice as say Larchmont may be, feels just like Bethesda.
Good luck to the OP and welcome to NY.
