I would only say the West Ward & parts of the South Ward are "ghetto" these days...most of the city over the last several years has seen a rapid redevelopment boom on par with where Jersey City was in the mid 2000s.

It is on the up but a lot of it still is the hood

Only a small part of the city is still a hood...most of the city is undergoing rapid change...so the "hood" is being priced out..
