Reply to comment by velveteendreamstreet in where should i look to rent? by unkwnnn

any reasons as to why? what are other cities/neighborhoods to avoid? i currently live in not too good of a neighborhood here in California but moving across country does bring a whole different dynamic

Maple Garden Apts are actually pretty nice. They are right next to the Garden State Parkway so if living right next to a highway turns you off it's not the place for you. I think what the other person is referring to is that Irvington/ East Orange and Newark are all places people wanted to leave decades ago. Today they aren't bad as you can see there is some invensment going into properties now.

I’d say they still aren’t very desirable places though. There are better areas around that area that could have similar priced apartments: Kearny, East Rutherford, North Arlington.
