East Ward is simple, it primarily consists of the Ironbound, and the dividing line is the train line going into Newark Penn station.

Iron bound and forest hills section are huge Latinx areas especially ironbound. So it’s a lot of working class families. Forest hills is more a mix of black wealth, Latinx and white middle class community and is a little less busy/ noisey the ironbound.

sounds like Forest Hills is diverse, which is what we prefer when it comes time to buy.

I live in the ironbound and love it. Like the other poster said, big immigrant community, mostly working class. Very walkable and lots of great food, and good transit access. I haven't had issues with crime and feel generally safe walking around, but it does happen occasionally.

feel safe walking and occasional crime is all that I believe can reasonably be asked for in any city. That is what we are looking for!
