The Forest Hill section of Newark, Asbury Park, and The Sleepy Hollow Section of Plainfield have a significant LGBTQ presence.

Jersey City is also good choice but is very expensive in prime areas.

Suburbs like Montclair and South Orange do too, but they have higher rents.

Both are good for families, just depends on how much money you have as Montclair is more expensive.

Urban Vegan is a restaurant near the arena that will have options for your friends.

You’ve been to the Shaq Theater here in Newark? It’s usually pretty chill.

You both made ignorant statements lol

You can check neighborhood and Ward maps via google.

Yep, I’m from KC. Statistically way more dangerous than Newark.

What neighborhood is your Airbnb in?

In general, most places on the North, Central and East Wards are “safe.” The South and the West also have some safe places, but they also have the largest share of neighborhoods with violent crime.

Good on you for ignoring people that say all of Newark is unsafe. You’ll find that rhetoric is deeply rooted in racism/classism.

Design your business with Newarks 300,000 residents in mind. If not, it will fail and you should not blame the city.

Parts of East Orange are nice.
