That area is okay but the closer to the park the better. You’ll be fine if you’re used to depressed American cities and there’s some decent food spots on Bloomfield Ave.

Everything is relative depending on what you are use to. It could all be a bad fit for you, or all be fine. I would say anything west of Mt Prospect and south of 4th St is fine. Some is not aesthetically pleasing. Have some common sense.

Thanks for the info! What about the University Heights area around the University Hospital?

Yeah much better over there you shouldn’t have any issues

Get an airbnb in the ironbound instead, very close to Prudential/Newark Penn and safest part of the city. Lots of amazing bakeries and restaurants around Ferry St. Check it out, you’ll definitely like it.

With the exception of a couple of small trouble spots, nothing on this map is "dangerous" by Newark standards.

Yeah, that place is fine. Way fancier than the rest of Newark.

You probably wouldn't have a problem anywhere in the neighborhood shown on this map - but the "nicest" part of the area is west of Mt Prospect and north of Bloomfield Ave.

You may hear some folks speaking Spanish as a first language (this neighborhood has a lot of Dominicans and Ecuadorians, among others); I'm going to assume that doesn't bother you.

Where are you coming from? I think that will shape your opinion.

You’ll be fine.
