I lived in Fort Washington for a bunch of years, 187th street and Fort Washington Avenue -- (181st street stop on the A Train) was 20 minutes from LaGuardia - 20 minutes in rush hour from Columbus Circle (57th and broadway)
I had a doorman building, river view in a very eclectic neighborhood
Dump the car, if you travel, unless you garage it, or have really good friend, alternate side of the street parking will kill you. You have to be home to move your car.
If you are near Grand Central - try also looking at Westchester county - it might be less pricey than manhattan, you could keep your car, and it's a quick train ride into the city. There's also westchester county airport as well.
Jersey City - stick to near the water - -Newport center is a gorgeous set of apartment complexes, luxuory type- -not super expensive, near the water. and the Path train from NJ to NY is right at your door.
