There is no Orange County NJ. You mean Orange County NY?

This isn't the 90s. The crime rate is better than all of those cities you mentioned except JC and Crooklyn, and even in those 2 I'd be careful if you're not in a stable area. The problem with Newark is the blight which can attract the hood types causing trouble. But for a nice, stable hood I'd stick to North Newark like Forest Hill and Upper Roseville. Ivy Hill/West Vailsburg in the West Ward is more affordable and okay if you're not on the main drag like Mt. Vernon Place or S. Orange Ave.

JC is much safer. But still has rough areas like Greenville.
