I mean, you are also across the street from one of the country's busiest train stations, 5 minutes away from the 4th busiest arena, and a short work to on NJ's premier foodie neighborhoods and urban neighborhoods... while also having 24 hour access to Manhattan/Brooklyn/Queens... its a great location at a fraction of the price for a similar apartment in another city with the same amenities right outside your door

I've been in and out of penn between midnight and 5am. It's fine. Only thing to note is they close all but the eastern entrance for security late at night, as they turn the main hall into a temporary homeless shelter overnight. So if you're fine with that, you're fine living there. The homeless don't bother you. Worst I heard of was one yelling toward my roommate on their way into NYC on their morning commute.

Being car free as well, Newark is the best location in NJ if you have any desire or need to go anywhere beyond Hudson County and NYC. Buses and trains in every cardinal direction. You can get 10 or so bus lines within that square to quickly get to Broad Street Station to go back to Summit.

This is a nice area. If you don’t think it is you’re probably just scared for whatever odd reason as a matter of fact I want an apartment in that same area.

I grew up in Short Hills and have lived within that box for 18 months. You'll be fine.

Stop being a bitch lol

To rent out all those units, I'm thinking they've got to have soundproof, triple-pane windows to block out all the noise.

Those rents are obscene. To live next to a six lane highway no less. Yeesh

Safe if anything sorta boring / dead after work hours.

I’ve never felt unsafe within that red box. The truth is, there really aren’t that many people living there, and the ones who do just don’t give 2 fucks about you. There are some streets that aren’t lit too well at night and it can feel a little creepy because there’s no one at all around, but that’s actually pretty rare.

On occasion, there will be loud verbal fights between people who don’t sound like they’re all there mentally. Sometimes these happen at night. Again, I’ve never felt unsafe, but it is a thing

if you are gonna move to Newark, this is definitely where you wanna be.

I’ve been in Newark since the 90’s, it’s squeaky clean by comparison.

Ehh clean isn’t a word I’d use to describe it. It’s safe, but you’ll also see human feces on the street every now and then

Seton is spelled wrong

You’ll be fine.

You’ll be fine.

Those are basically the rents of the NJPAC tower

One of the safest. Just a huge homeless problem

Where are you coming from? I think that will shape your opinion.

With these rent prices; 2 family Bayonne boxes with in the ironbound will top $1 mil soon🤷🏾‍♂️

Very dangerous! might slip and fall! or worse, catch a cold!

lmao what are you saying? Broad St? not dangerous.

Broad street at night is dangerous

In that area you’re more likely to be victimized by your landlord than by a criminal on the street

Yeah but then we get the bougie expensive prices to go along with it

Is a safe area but is mostly comercial, there are apartment buildings opening up right next to Fornos of Spain, the restaurant on the lower right corner of the map (Ironbound) which is also pretty safe and just a couple blocks from the station.

I was asking myself the same thing. Smh
