Would there be any trouble walking to/from Penn late night? Considering Bayonne/Harrison too which might be better areas since prices/sq ft. are similar. No car.

About as fine as it gets. Little quiet at night but there are some additional residential projects opening soon that should add more eyes on the street.

Edit: Though on closer look there are few resi buildings in that red box. It’s mostly commercial.

I've been in and out of penn between midnight and 5am. It's fine. Only thing to note is they close all but the eastern entrance for security late at night, as they turn the main hall into a temporary homeless shelter overnight. So if you're fine with that, you're fine living there. The homeless don't bother you. Worst I heard of was one yelling toward my roommate on their way into NYC on their morning commute.

Being car free as well, Newark is the best location in NJ if you have any desire or need to go anywhere beyond Hudson County and NYC. Buses and trains in every cardinal direction. You can get 10 or so bus lines within that square to quickly get to Broad Street Station to go back to Summit.
