>m 6th Ave
Thank you I really appreciate it. With all these information I can see it will be best to find some other places in Upper Roseville.

NJIT to Roseville(Park Avenue stop) is a subway ride away. Why would you walk?
The area gets better when you are by Park Avenue & points north and close to Branch Brook Park. I've walked thru that stretch in the past w/o much issue, tho this was back in the late 2000s/early 2010s. But anywhere from 6th Ave south towards 280 and Roseville Ave west going towards East Orange, unless you have a ton of street smarts, avoid like the plague. Fairmount is even worse.
Just read your posts with effort. Yeah go with Upper Roseville instead. City subway lets you off by the park.

That's nice to know. I didn't have any figures as far as height in feet. I know the first tower would be at least 30 something stories.
That Halo Tower would indeed look nice across the PSEG building as number two Newark Center.

See the thing is that jersey city had the same thing, do you think all those new glassy skinny buildings they got over the years fit into the area they were built in, no. Journal square towers didn’t fit but the area around it changed to fit the towers. Now look at JC the first building that started their skyscraper boom is surrounded by buildings that look like it. Given time The Arc tower will produce more development in the area and it isn’t uncommon that a glass tower is near older buildings, I mean most of the towers in lower manhattan are art deco style towers but the new World Trade towers fit into the area and skyline perfectly fine.

I don’t think tow truck can hook your car if there’s someone in the car. A while back I also had to run in a store and parked. When I got back, the tow truck was lifting my car but he never realized my girl (5’1” 110lbs) was in the passenger seat (tinted windows)… she was sleeping and didn’t realize car was about to get towed 😂 I told him she was in there, he checked and got furious… he said I was fucking lucky and said he would be looking for my car in the future. I told him I don’t even live here so go ahead. So, I’m thinking they can’t.

Halo tower 3 will slightly surpass National Newark building but you really wouldn’t be able to tell who taller since it’s about a 30 feet height gap between both buildings.

Correct the halo tower three will be 485 or 488 feet, making it the next tallest building in Newark having over 40 stories all together including the parking garage. The smallest tower being 485 and the tallest being 539 feet

Halo won't be taller than 1180? 1180 is 448 ft. The tallest Halo tower (future development) is 573 ft and 49 stories. The shortest (under construction) is supposed to be 38 stories so maybe 100 ft shorter? That should still overtake 1180 and even 744 broad (465 ft)... hopefully.
And I'm conflicted about Arc. Architecturally, I like the design (same architect as Halo and 50 Sussex) but agree it's not contextual and seems odd in that corner. Especially when you look at the renderings from street level. It would look great on Mulberry and Raymond next to the Legal Center/Seton Hall Law. And I've already done my rant about downtown affordability and displacement so I'll skip it this time...

Reply to the movie "Rob Peace" is currently filming in town. looks interesting. about a real-life brilliant Newark kid named Rob Peace who went to Yale but ended up murdered. by Top_Ad5385
Peace was a cousin of mine through marriage and I also went to Benedict’s where he taught. I was even in the same group as him: Father Dunstan Smith. I have the book and read it, and I won’t watch the movie, but I value them as pieces to educate people about Newark and the troubles that come with it. Please watch and please read.

I live on Edison Place which they close off routinely for events. Technically, there's no parking on the street as the signage clearly indicates but people do it all the time . They only seem to tow if the road is being closed off. The police are cool enough to turn on their siren and lights for a good 15 minutes before tow trucks arrive... see people scrambling out of the bars and stuff to move their cars.

Thanks I will make sure to avoid sketchy stuff on the street. I think this is something we can learn, like being aware of the surroundings and know how to react and handle situations.

You should definitely be able to find a place in upper rosevile for that price. My uncle lives there and pays $1950 for 3 bedrooms. Assuming you need 1, you should be able to find something

Yeah I also been researching and found that upper Roseville is one the nicest place to be, but then the prices could be a bit rough. Our budget would be around 1,700- 1,800$ and can hardly go beyond that.

Yeah back in 2006-2014 it was a bit bad, its calmed down significantly but sttill be very careful as theres projects on the cornr 5th st and 7th ave. As well as some directly on your block. With this in mind, please bike at night, ideally on the street as sidewalks are small and you may find people loitering on the sidewalks.
I’m obviously being super cautios here but chances are youll be just fine, just be smart, dont mess with anyone and you wont be messed with. Also this is a mostly Black/Dominican/Puerto Rican neighborhood so keep that in mind as you may hear lots of music and people with loud cars.
PS 6th street is known to be a nicer and safer street as it gets a lot of cars due to it taking you directly to 280.

It isn't that bad just be well aware of your surroundings when I was walking to a bus stop in 2018 some guy had his dog on the loose and it attacked this guy, just stupid stuff like that. Avoid it and you'll be fine

Of course, I believe the closest intersection to where we will be living is that of 6th Ave and North 5th St, I remember walking pass a big deli supermarket.
I will keep in mind your insights and be aware of the surrondings when walking, and that should be fine. Thank you again.

If you dont mind me asking whats the closest intersection. The closer you are to Bloomfield Ave the better, the closer Orange st the worse.
If you intend to walk late, walk through Park ave and be smart (dont be walkinw your headphones on staring at your phone). But tbh, biking is a lot safer especially at night
