Everything east of MLK blvd (High Street) & Elizabeth ave corridor will be gentrified. West of that line, I can't see gentrification in: *Lower Clinton Hill *Fairmount *West Side *Springfield Belmont *Woodside (Broadway from Cemetery to Belleville) but all bets are off if Newark- Paterson Light Rail takes place. All these neighborhoods are nowhere near Rail transportation. Broadway Woodside lost it when they closed the North Newark station on the Boonton line. Whether it's mass or light rail. Gentrification tends to follow rail and certain RowHouse patterns. Both are absent in these neighborhoods.
