Newark has a reputation for being bad but the Ironbound section and sections close to the Belleville/Bloomfield border aren't that bad. Judging by what you wrote, seems like Jersey City and Hoboken may be more fitting for you.

Make sure to take a good look around, the areas nearby go anywhere from 'strip mall central' to 'cul-de-sacs' to walkable little downtown and with your budget you should be able to pick which type you want pretty easily.

Do not take them to Plato’s Closet. They will undercut the stuff very bad while they’re selling pilled leotards. Poshmark, Depop, Mercari are nice but do require some work to sell.

Newark isn't a big tech city. Audible, sure, but that's kinda it. We have a couple of data centers but no big tech job hubs. Unless you work remote or are willing to commute into NYC, I'd hesitate. And if you are willing to work remote, there's a lot of places that are better than Newark for that.
