hmm i though east orange was upscale back in the day...that was many decades tho

Numbered streets vary drastically. Had a friend grow up on N 12th St just off Bloomfield in a historic 2 floor colonial with a working fireplace, original details, etc. Classic suburban family in a classic Northeast suburb. 4 blocks south, past Park Ave the vibe changes as you get closer to the freeway. Same situation as you head west towards East Orange and get closer to the Essex County Parkway.

tl;dr Numbered streets on the north side of town are very block-by-block. Stay away from the highways and East Orange and you'll be fine. Numbered streets on the south-side are a no-go.

feel safe walking and occasional crime is all that I believe can reasonably be asked for in any city. That is what we are looking for!

Look again at the Elevdn80 application portal. I just renewed there for my 2nd year. I recall having short term rental options, but they may have only been available as an existing resident.

Also, the short term leases are much more expensive.

I live in the ironbound and love it. Like the other poster said, big immigrant community, mostly working class. Very walkable and lots of great food, and good transit access. I haven't had issues with crime and feel generally safe walking around, but it does happen occasionally.

mmmkay....not being from or living there how on earth would I be on the inside of that joke? lol

thanks for explaining -rofl

I was wrong. This isn’t the landmarks commission. It’s the community meeting with mostly residents from James St. This is what they do to everyone.

Okay, this was a community meeting not the landmarks commission meeting. That’s why it’s so tense and a free for all. They hate Calvin because he’s always trying to build stuff that isn’t just row houses.

I think you might've taken this response too seriously. It's a reference to Barcade closing its doors earlier this year.

Not that the closure wasn't tragic, but if arcade games have the potential to be a draw, then combining that with a bar may no longer have staying power.

I bet an arcade on Halsey St would be packed with underage college kids every night though.

Yeah, very interesting, but rough to listen to. I was honestly shocked about how mad the lawyer was getting.

Yo, did you speak? Was Halloway beating you up?

Like everyone is saying your best bet in terms comfortability. Might be to go with one of the big apartment complexes in downtown Newark for a year then decided which are you and your family wants to move. If you have school aged kids. I would. Recommend one of the neighboring towns like Bloomfield or west orange or even east orange

thanks, one of the reasons I chose it. That;s my language. Forward momentum

Goddamn, what a shitshow. The Landmarks Commission and the lawyer are all so unprofessional. I'm for the tower, and the lawyer is doing such a terrible job at presenting his case and holding his temper. If I were the developer, I'd fire him immediately after this meeting.

to start just a short term place to figure things out. Then maybe a decent transitional house for rent until we actually buy. budget is flexible. Safety is most important

yeah, when we first arrive, we just want short-term accommodations to get settled in and be able to understand and determine where we actually want to live.

Wouldn't necessarily mind a year, but I am not a fan of apartment buildings.

Good luck Newark is deff on the rise !!!

sounds like Forest Hills is diverse, which is what we prefer when it comes time to buy.

in KC-K or Wichita (two largest cities in Kansas) doesn't matter where you live. Crime is ridiculous...and mindset...well let's say I will be happy to be back in the NE

Yep, that's the one.

Just to clarify 1180 is a competing apartment complex. Walker house allows dogs with size and breed restrictions. But they where loosely enforcing it when I was leaving. They only do year and 2 year leases. You might find a hard time getting a short term least at one of the apartment complexes

This one?

>thanks, do they accept pets? do they do short-term leases, like a month or two?
