Close. That’s a good area though

>north ward

is north ward where the addison is? I am sorry I searched on google maps north ward and I got the intersection between 2nd avenue and mt prospect avenue

I can send you pictures of the neighborhood around Addison when I get a chance if need be. But it’s genuinely a safe place as far as Newark goes. Which is to say, things can still happen, but you don’t need to be as worried as you would be living in the South Ward.

thats good to hear

​

that was my biggest worry with the apartments else they seem very reasonable priced for the location

I am coming from out of state and I wont have any place to live so I will need to buy sight unseen so I have a place to stay

I’m not sure where you’re moving from but if possible it’s always recommended to go see a place in person before putting money down.

That being said if you can’t, anywhere in the north ward or Ironbound is your best bet if you’re worried about safety. Downtown isn’t too bad either but shit happens once in a while.

I don’t have any roaches or mice. There’s mad ants though yeah. I also live on the top floors though so that might change things. I’ve seen dead roaches in the basement.

are the reviews claiming its a roach/mice/ant infested apartment legit?

The North Ward and Ironbound are the safest parts.

I live in Addison Towers. They have spots for a little under 1500. It’s a safe area.

I know exactly the neighborhood you are taking about. Drove by there a few times to check out areas close to the Watsessing Ave station. Beautiful place; kinda of car dependent and a bit of a walk to public transit but still a great setting .

>I have looked at a few places like addison towers, forest hill towers they seem under my budget but I am not sure if they are in a safe area or if they are good

I am not from the area so I don't really know what places are safe and considered decent. Everyone has nice pictures but they can be deceiving

Man you find it

Locals in Newark without cars? Are there many buses that go from the neighborhoods to this Kearny shopping center?

Nope just learned at a young age how to cross the street.

Presidential Heights is by exit 147 on the parkway. There's a really pretty house I see on the corner of Rutledge and N Arlington in EO, maybe?

We live south of 2nd Ave in Newark right now (in a rental), but thanks for the suggestions!

Nice! I love the balloons haha

Oh you mean that small fraction of Newarkers that comprises….half of the city?

I don't know. I have a friend who lives in one of those Harrison apartments paying like 3K for just him, and he has a car and parking. I don't want to be giving up like half my salary to rent so I am sticking around in this 3 family house my friends family owns and I didn't buy a new car when mine was no longer working.

I'm just banking my extra money because who knows what the hell might go down at this point.

Don’t know where that is. Anywhere within 10~15 min walk to either train station would be a good place to buy IMHO. I personally like lower Broadway in Newark. Charming , mix of architecture, fantastic connectivity. With Vermella closing the gap between the station and the entrance to the neighborhood, only a matter of time before it takes off. 5 years if not less. Anything south of 2nd Ave is worth buying. I see some pretty reasonably priced single and multifamily homes listed for sale still.

I’ve lived in Virginia Beach, and South Jersey really reminds me of living there. I don’t go out much anyway and enjoy doing things at home. So I probably wouldn’t mind since I’m kind of looking for boring.

Probably cant afford mays landing but egg harbor township is a nice place with cheap rentals

It will always be Kmart to me!
