I’d stay away downtown because fuck street parking. Nobody needs that stress in their life. Bergen-Lafayette probably since you can still find houses with parking or newly built luxury apartments. Then you got access to light rail that can take you to Bayonne and Hoboken.

There’s also the Heights but he probably will be driving more to get around.

I’ve read a bit about Bergen-Lafayette and wasn’t sure about safety. Seems like it’d probably be fine. We live in Houston. I’ve lived in New Haven. Just don’t want to have to get a window fixed all the time lol!

Bergen Lafayette got nothing on H-Town as far as bullet whizzing by. He’ll be alright. Besides he got four years here? It’ll be all tapas and juice bar soon.

Haha oh perfect! See that’s what I don’t know! I’m like people say it’s a bit sketchier but like what is the comparison!? Thanks so much! I know people on NYC area always roll their eyes at us from the south but I understand that expectations and living situations are vastly different!

The only area where i would be concerned about safety would be greenville, other than that if you have common sense u will not have any problems in bergen lafayette or the heights, that being said it is still a city so there is always a small risk of getting ur car broken into etc but its not that common
