I do agree with people mentioning the Ironbound, but you don't have to live in one of the little apartments near Penn! The amount of construction near those buildings has been attracting rats like crazy recently (among other problems). However, there are several streets in the neighborhood that have 2-3 family homes that are much more livable/practical. A few are: Chestnut Street, St. Francis Street, Clifford Street. These are all sort of on the borders of the super busy areas like Ferry or Wilson Ave, so they're pretty safe but you still get some privacy.

Thanks. Are those houses for rent or sale?

No problem. And it varies. Usually they're for rent, but a lot of owners are selling the houses these days since people are starting to buy up property in Newark

thats great as we would be happy to rent for a year to get settled into the area. How can I find out about these places for rent before moving there?
