At 57K there is zero chance you can afford to live in Journal Square. You'd be eating nothing but ramen. Also it's not the safest area at night, there have been random hammer attacks lately.

I make a little more than OP & am in journal square, about a 10 minute walk from the train. I live by myself and pay about $1600, pretty comfortably. Also found the place pretty quickly, and similar places nearby with comparable rent when i was looking. Area isn’t even bad, I don’t think twice about walking outside at night or anything like that. The idea that you can NOT live in jsq without roommates is not correct at all. And no, I’m not eating ramen.

Don’t listen to this guy. Journal square is fine and not that dangerous of an area. Just keep common sense and it’s no worse than any other heavily populated area.

They never found the guy right?

I can't promise they didn't, but I can promise I didn't read about them finding the person.

Right, won’t be surprised if it wasn’t reported by Jcpd
