Great …. 🙄

S.Klein was vacant for 37 years. Hanhes vacant for 30. Come on fam, people Keep talking about gentrification and not the 40+ years of blight after the riots. Lack of business means lack of jobs means lack of family to support. Same shit they talked about in 1986 is on the table today. SMH.

😂😂😂 I feel you

I wonder if it will fill up. 1180 always seems to have vacancies. The more moderately priced teachers village never seems to. Let’s see

Sounds like a developer got the approval and us trying to seek the land with it

That's JC/Hoboken price points 2-3 years ago. Would probably go for $3,500 for a 1 br there now, will it would be $5k+ in Manhattan or Brooklyn.

So goodby Club Metro?

People will pay for the amenities and security

I love the smell of gentrification and top shelf coffee in the morning

Well I was talking to a gentleman from the area outside yesterday when I visited, and he referred to it as “the hood”

When you call a place “the hood”

It’s usually a lottery. I’d call the number on the building and ask.

You can also reach out to the City’s affordable housing office here: https://www.newarknj.gov/departments/affordable-housing

That door frame honestly needed to be that size just so the man who paid for the building will fit in if he ever chooses to not go to it

I appreciate the advice. I think there are some drawbacks but it could be an awesome experience.

If you are from the burbs, living in an inner city, you are gonna have to get used to some stuff—like people being loud at all hours, and in Newark and Paterson, lots of trash on the street (but some blocks are worse than others). You may have a few junkies and some working girls in your hood too. And in some areas there are abandominiums which will draw junkies and prostitutes. That can be annoying and bring other petty crime. Look at the other houses and the other people living on the block. Stay away from blocks with more than one abandoned and burnt out property. If you find a place you like, visit the hood and walk around a bit during some morning and get the vibe. Also drive through at night and make sure the dealers aren’t on your corner. Other than that you will probably meet some of the best people you have ever known, truthfully.

I figured the vast majority living in those areas are good people just trying to get by, and most of the crime is probably dumb teenagers or people in their early twenties. I’ve never had a problem in inner cities but have never lived in one

I am a gun owner so I am not judging you harshly for being a gun owner. But there is a MAJOR difference between someone who owns a gun and someone who feels the need to have concealed carry. In my experience, white men (and other races if I am honest) with concealed carry are a certain type of person and that type shouldn’t live in a neighborhood like Clinton Hill. (Unless you are carrying due to your work). That is my opinion.

In Paterson terms, I would say Clinton Hill would be comparable to the East Main st area in P-town. Lots of gang activity, decent amount of drug trade (though most blocks are ok) and vast majority of people are just struggling poor folks working their asses off and decent folks.

Appreciate it!

Thank you!

I never assumed it would cause problems, I just acknowledged that it would make me stick out which could possibly cause issues. But there’s always the very likely outcome of me having no issues and being completely unbothered and just a regular neighbor. I don’t think all black people in majority white neighborhoods are scared all the time, but some might be depending on the state/area. I don’t think I would be scared all the time if I lived in the area. Can you please elaborate on me taking any comments w/ a grain of salt? Thank yku

I appreciate the advice. That’s pretty much on par with what I was thinking.

I’ve worked in the Paterson area for a few years, many years ago. In regards to the handgun permit, I’m not some crazy gun nut or someone who would ever look for a chance to bring it out. If someone wants my wallet, I’m gonna give them my wallet not pull out my gun for example.

Honestly, how in the world are they going to fill that building at NYC/Hoboken/JC price points given the plethora of cheaper and other options popping up in Newark?? Are there really that many people wanting to overpay in Newark or am I just crazy?

This building looks like American Dream mall before the all-white paint job. Bleech!
