So I’m wondering if the ppl buying these homes over $800k are paying cash, and if they’re immune to rising rates. The house on the corner of Ballentine and Lake St just sold for $800k and is in way better shape than the house that sold for $820k on the corner of Delavan and Parker. I don’t have the answer here, but I could see a contractor paying $500-600k for this one and remodeling it.

Look at the brown house on Elwood, it sold at the start of Covid for $350k (total remodel needed); it sat for a year or so and was sold for $600k with no work being completed on it. Interesting to watch!

It’s been closed all through COVID and very recently reopened. Mostly food takeout and the occasional actual retail. Runs on the second floor through the complex and connects directly to Newark Penn through skybridges

1&9 billiards and entertainment. It’s a pool hall on 701 Spring St., Elizabeth it’s right off the 1&9 and literally 4 minutes from Newark airport same side as the airport and also there’s food places right next to it and across the highway there’s a royal fried chicken food is the bomb. Shooting pool and watching the games while getting something to eat just safe is bad being at that place is literally next-door neighbors to the airport.

I think this street is what MLK Blvd is now. These buildings r too old of an architectural style to be anywhere but rly close to downtown and if u look at the old buildings that still stand on MLK today they look just like this but over half of them r gone and the ones that r still there r so dilapidated.

Come to the ironbound and eat Brazilian/Portuguese food. It’s only a short train ride to penn station in Newark from the airport, and the restaurants are just blocks away from Penn station.
