I think the big issue in this article is that it’s only looking at Newark overall. Gentrification is apparent, but only we if we focus on individual neighborhoods like the Ironbound and Forest Hill. Places that at most were asking 1400 for a 2BR near South St are now asking for at least 2400. A house in Forest Hill recently became the first one-family in Newark to sell for over $1 million. It’s a tediously slow process that hasn’t yet spread to other neighborhoods , but it’s happening.
