Reply to comment by financialanon in Best value place to live in NJ? by lionheart12x

Ironbound has exploded in cost in the last 5 years or so. Not worth it at all at this point given how polluted it is

Yeah I am not a huge fan of that place either, particularly the architecture. It's horrible.

You cannot beat the food and diversity of nightlife though.

Yeah the architecture sucks and it’s not nearly as pedestrian/bike friendly as it should be given just how dense it is. The food is fine if you like the same couple of options repeated endlessly and don’t mind paying 25 dollars for a dish that’s half frozen French fries lol

Sorry it’s just a very overrated and very overpriced neighborhood for what it is

Iron bound has a lot of hidden wealth. A lot of the kids there went to private schools. The good restaurants and cafes make bank and it was always relatively safe to walk around there as a teenager
