This area would not be comparable to anywhere in The Heights at all but you said you spent some time working in “the hood”—where, specifically, are you talking about?

The neighborhood you are talking about is very poor and has a lot of gang activity but if you keep your head down and keep to yourself, you are just gonna be the white guy from the neighborhood. No big deal. 95% of the folks from the hood are just working folks like you.

The concealed handgun permit also has me worried. I only know one type of white guy who has a concealed permit and that type of white guy doesn’t belong in Clinton Hill. Where, in the suburbs did you grow up?

That would be cool

It ain't pricey for that location. Between Penn Station and the arena.

People might once in a while say something nasty under their breath, but I doubt you'd be messed with. I'm white, felt the same way initially, then I realized it's stupid to make situations all about myself.

As others have said, support local business and you'll be celebrated. And be aware of your surroundings as you have before, I'm sure. You'll have a great time

How do I get in any of the low income units?

Do you guys know if any units are subsidiaries ?? I’m lookin for a place but can’t afford

You will be fine. My coworker been living right on that hill for some time now since he moved from Eatontown to be closer to work. Being born and raised in the heart of Newark the hood hood.. I always tel people … it’s not like you running the streets or buggin the block or looking for drugs so you are fine!!!! Mind your business keep your nose clean and support the local businesses and eateries and life would be grand!

Take any comments from this subreddit with a huge grain of salt. Even if you’re the only white person in the neighborhood, it IS racist to assume that will cause problems.

Do you think all Black people who live in majority white neighborhoods are scared all the time?

Pricey for Newark but we need some pricey buildings. There’s also like 70 units of income-restricted housing in there.

Leasing now but move in date is probably sometime this summer like June.

Thanks. So avoid at all costs, or look over my shoulder and mind my business? I’m not racist by any means but I understand that sticking out like a sore thumb could cause problems… do you think I would get messed with because of my race?

Its definitely the hood. Back when citizen still worked in newark, you would see crime alerts for shootings and other violent crime there all the time. Youre gonna stick out like a sore thumb as a white guy there. It is very very different the jersey city heights, which is a very diverse area in comparison and more middle class.

There is no directions to where that is in the building, cost, required documentation, etc. very basic stuff. Completely useless response.

East Newark is a completely different town, were in the newark subreddit...

I was hoping g they were going to put a videos screen on the front

And the front still not finished lol

That’s actually less than I would’ve expected.

A MONTH?

The three words I came to this thread to try and find.

1 bedroom 2.5k

Him Ive never worked with, so no comment

Corrupt essex County... all they do is hire each others cousin! Politically driven county! They need a #netflix series on the corruption that goes on there! Check out the commisioners' Facebook page... listen to the bs!

Thanks. I'll look into it.
