Do you know anything about how it is near the Garfield station? Meaning to check it out as a potential forever home.

Still rough by Garfield but totally fine from like Berry Lane Park to Liberty State Park.

Def need to check it out. I'm from Newark and gf is from Brooklyn (before gentrification) so "rough" might be good enough for the price point haha.

lol yeah. I’m originally from bk and i think the definition of rough is very subjective on here 😂. most places in JC dnt compare to some places in brooklyn like FB, Brownsville or East NY but most on here arent coming from that perspective. havent been in JC super long so i wouldnt be able to give you best read but personally im not sure my forever home would be anywhere in JC lol. however if you are looking for a neighborhood with upside potential, space, less traffic, and in convenient location to most things you need -whether that’s convenient access going to/from JC, or going dwntwn/manhattan (that’s not already super expensive or with high taxes) Bergen Lafayette / Greenville near transit is a fair bet. you’ll see grit but likely not as bad.

Just really like the city and being able to traverse mostly without a car. 100% not a suburbs guy.

Garfield station area is fine. Very residential. Lovely houses and several parks nearby. Light rail Cafe and Olearys have good food. You can also walk to 902 brewery and corgis

Thanks. I'll take a stroll over there when it gets warmer and check it out. I definitely like the location because you can walk either way to Lincoln or Liberty State Park. Also, everything is like a 15 minute bike ride.
