I am not from the area so I don't really know what places are safe and considered decent. Everyone has nice pictures but they can be deceiving

>I have looked at a few places like addison towers, forest hill towers they seem under my budget but I am not sure if they are in a safe area or if they are good

I live in Addison Towers. They have spots for a little under 1500. It’s a safe area.

The North Ward and Ironbound are the safest parts.

are the reviews claiming its a roach/mice/ant infested apartment legit?

I don’t have any roaches or mice. There’s mad ants though yeah. I also live on the top floors though so that might change things. I’ve seen dead roaches in the basement.

I’m not sure where you’re moving from but if possible it’s always recommended to go see a place in person before putting money down.

That being said if you can’t, anywhere in the north ward or Ironbound is your best bet if you’re worried about safety. Downtown isn’t too bad either but shit happens once in a while.

I can send you pictures of the neighborhood around Addison when I get a chance if need be. But it’s genuinely a safe place as far as Newark goes. Which is to say, things can still happen, but you don’t need to be as worried as you would be living in the South Ward.

Thank you so much this was very helpful and useful to know I am probably going to circle on addison.

It seems to be well-connected to public transport and seems to be good bang for the buck. I'll try to get one in the upper floors

I moved to the area into a unit sight unseen through a realtor to go to RBS. It was a disaster. Moved to the ironbound and highly recommend. Feel free to DM

Check around forest hills section. It’s close to branch brook station. If not then around Ironbound might be your next best bet

If you’re okay with a roommate, you can easily get a 2br for under 3k in a new building downtown. Might be able to find some 1brs in the Ironbound for that but they will likely be kind of old and wonky.
