My little brother had a spot there in Greenvile near Lexington Ave. That part of the city with the black folk too gully at night for me :scust:
LMAO! I was bout to say...you gonna be around black folks on the Hill and Uptown, and they might not necessarily be your kind of black folks tho. Im from Jersey City and I see Bergen and Lexington, or Ocean and whatever cross street on the Hill, MLK BLvd and any street that connects to it, are SMH generally. Its like a wasteland. They my people but damnit, I would never want to live in any of those places....(it was bad enough growing up there)

Check out Rahway, or Linden actually.

I don't know OP's financial situation but the bolded are expensive. I don't know about Teaneck.

I'm not really trying (not saying I'd rack them up if I was). But I don't think it's that difficult. PA west of Philly is basically redneck country so I doubt it's easier than here. But even if that's the case, other minorities like I said get coupled up very quickly, so he's left with solely black women by default which sounds like no problem for him. But really this state (or at least the northern half) embodies social proofing, if you didn't spend your teen years (junior high thru college) around a group/groups of women who you know are single or when they're in between relationships to slide your way in, meeting single women of any race is not easy here. If you don't care about (knowingly) smashing women with boyfriends one may be alright here but if you're not about sharing, good luck.

My uncle's been in Central Jersey (Rahway/Linden) for 3 years now and says mixing is more common, somewhat because everyone is the same economically so move in the same places. North Jersey is basically Blacks/Latinos stuffed in Newark, JC, Elizabeth, Paterson, with whites and enclaves occupying the rest of the north. Outside of hitting the mall in Paramus, if it's not Essex, Hudson, or Union County I essentially I feel I have no business being there. I can't speak on South Jersey except for a piece of Burlington County having a decent amount of middle class blacks.

Teaneck is also quite pricey here due to the good school system, wealthy Jewish presence, and the 4 different NJ Transit bus lines(167, 166, 186, and 177) that all go to Manhattan within 30-45 minutes.

And the other bolded you mentioned is true to the max. The Northern half of state is quite segregated.

I would love to live in Hoboken but daaaaamn. $1800 for a 1 bedroom?? :gucci:

The bar scene on Washington St, proximity to the PATH with a great view of Manhattan, and the presence of Jet.com, that's why it's pricey.

You'll find more reasonable prices next town over in JC near Journal Square or the Heights area.

@AB Ziggy How's the dating scene in Hoboken?

Plenty of singles to go around :salute:

The males in this town rely too much on dating apps than really meet people for potential connections. If you have some decent social skills to stand out from the pack, you'll eat good there. Every night spot i went to, there was always more females than males. :obama:

You're in Princeton, that's why you're having a tough time.

Try to get closer to NYC....much more diverse in Hudson, Essex, Passaic and Bergen counties. Plenty of sistas, Latinas, etc....you should have better luck there breh

The Wrong Side of the Tracks
I live along the Shore. Traveled all around this state because of work. Black folks (with sense) live nearer the North end or Philly.

STAY THE FUKK OUTTA CAMDEN!!!!!

Newark is good. Patterson can suck my dikk. The Oranges are....odd.

Central Jersey is weird as hell. Go from a whole community of Black people to a bunch of Jews by crossing a street. Turn a corner, and you're surrounded by Mexicans driving around with Pennsylvania license plates.

Trenton is on some other shyt, breh. Unless you have some relatives locked-up in the prison, just keep it moving to Philly.

If you're into Latinas, head to Perth Amboy. Lots of Italians there, too.

Stay off Routes 1 and 9 from the hours of 11 AM to about 5 PM. Gridlock doesn't even begin to describe the hell you will encounter.​
