Sounds bad for you. I can't wait to get there!

Thanks, I kinda figured that. 🙄Someone once told me not to move to numbered streets.

There is a huge gap in the market for bars that offer a large quantity of arcade games

Second this. You’ll also have more of a neighborhood feel on Halsey St. In this area.

The south ward by the south orange border is decent.

I think you have to give more details your life style. Are you looking for more of a suburban area or urban? what’s your rent budget ? Do you need access to public trans ? Do you have a car ? All of this matters. There are areas that “on paper” you may not think are good areas but truly are like upper Roseville

The stuff close to Rutgers feels pretty safe. Same with the places near Prudential Center, and them. Close to actual Penn Station feels a little sketchy, but I’ve not had any issues there. The people hanging out on the sidewalks surrounding the station might ask to bum a cigarette, or for spare change, but then also give you information like “that door is locked” so you don’t end up walking all that way to the door for no reason.

From the places I’ve seen, if it’s close to the light rail, I’ve felt pretty safe there. Only exception being Branch Brook Park, which feels mad sketchy no matter what hour it is.

Ironbound is relatively safe and certain areas in north Newark everywhere else is good luck

Lol, he's fucking with you, that's not a good area. Downtown, Ironbound, and Forest Hill are your best bets.

That way you are closest to the largest train station and access to NYC.

The area near Rutgers business, Tubman park old stadium can use a good deli.

Forge beneficial relationships between downtown developers and people who want to open retail shops. There’s a bunch of empty storefronts because developers are buying up the buildings to put in apartments, but the businesses that were there before won’t be able to pay rents on buildings like that. It would be nice if someone could try to help with that somehow

Newark is shit the people are not friendly i lived there my whole life and don’t trust nobody

Yep, I’m from KC. Statistically way more dangerous than Newark.

What is considered the dividing lines for N/S and E/W parts of town?

thanks. I agree. Hence the original question. I would love to hear responses.

thanks

what is the name of the neighborhood? abb doesn't give you an address before you book.

Haven't selected on yet. Don't want to get one and regret the location. Appreciate your candor and recognition of the real issues. People don't realize, I am in a city where I am twice as likely to be a victim of violent crime...Wichita Kansas...crazy.

What neighborhood is your Airbnb in?

In general, most places on the North, Central and East Wards are “safe.” The South and the West also have some safe places, but they also have the largest share of neighborhoods with violent crime.

Good on you for ignoring people that say all of Newark is unsafe. You’ll find that rhetoric is deeply rooted in racism/classism.

Design your business with Newarks 300,000 residents in mind. If not, it will fail and you should not blame the city.

Forest Hill

Curious, Why start at Penn station... You feel that's the safest ABB?
