Newark, Irvington, Orange, East Orange, Elizabeth... they're all the same to me

The time to get in on Harrison was 10 years ago, if you have the money invest in it, but it's not cheap, Harrison is trying to house the overflow from Jersey City and people who are still bothered by the Newark area codes.

Yeah expensive and the only real draw is the PATH station stop.

Newark is going to look completely different in 5-10 years. Gentrification is already in place and a lot of investors and VC's have told me to invest in newark today.

I give Newark a 6...good portugese food in the iron bound, muslim spots that carry oills and shea butter, a good presence of black people, black stores, etc but as time goes by they will get pushed out unless they put their money together and stay strong..

No disrespect but I wouldn't mess with a woman from newark lol...they've seen a lot and some are just grimey

accurate and spot on post.

Yea all related.

irvington is like a extended Newark to me.

I think East Orange gets a bad rap. They've been doing a lot to change the area and some sections are really nice. My whole perception changed once I started looking at houses in that area.

East Orange reminds me of East Flatbush

Orange and East Orange are still considered the hood. South Orange and West Orange are like legit suburbs.

West Orange is pretty nice

 

[UberEatsDriver]

No. I used to fly through Newark sometimes...the airport is pretty trash btw. I just think it’s funny that someone ranks Newark highly. I literally have never heard anyone even acknowledge the city. Just a fun jab.

why is the airport trash? I like the fact that checking in quicker than Laguardia and JFK

 

[UberEatsDriver]

Oh yea Irvington is more dangerous than Newark

It depends on where you live in Orange. There are some pockets that are nice.

The terminals don’t connect. If you get off at the wrong stop, it becomes a hassle. If Southwest is a precursor of things to come, there won’t be many major airlines there. I find the public transportation commute to LGA & JFK to be easier than Newark.

I agree with your checking in point. I prefer LGA over both.

Jersey got White Castle. All I got up here in Mass is fukking Friendlys not even a fukking Krispy Kreme

Basically 7 Oaks, the part that orders South Orange, I used to have a house there.

White Castle or Checker's used to hit after skating at Branch Brook
