[quote=tahiti;3235442]apparently Upper Saddle River, according to NJ Monthly. [/QUOTE
What??? Yes rich housewife's beating me over the head with their rolling pins,very high crime!!! How about old LT, buying crack! Come on , this is too funny!!
Millville and Vineland too. Not the whole towns but the downtown areas are getting bad.
Millville has just enlisted the Guardian Angels to help out in the downtown area.
Vineland is the largest city in NJ by area. Some areas are dangerous but the outskirts are nice.
The map that was put up is just averages and that's understood. Down here in Cumberland County, now NJ's poorest, there's some money that is impressive no matter who you are. There has to be or our color would be solid red.

The funny thing about your observation is that if I included the entire USA and still used 5 classes, most of that area in Cumberland would change from orange to yellow. That will give you an idea of how much more impoverished a lot of the country is nationally compared to NJ.
Newark (worked there, very few "nice" areas) However, the Ironbound section or as some say, "Down Neck" is fine.
Jersey City- ( I live here...But, Newport and the downtown area are nice. Trump Towers is going up on Washington St. and 1st , people aren't paying 400 thou for a one bed apart to live in a "bad" neighborhood. The Heights are too bad either.)
Union City - (Again, there are problems, but it isn't too bad. I teach in Union City.)
Paterson-( I have only heard bad things about the city, but I am sure there are some exaggerations.)
East Orange
Irvington
Passaic-
Elizabeth
Trenton
Asbury Park
Lakewood
Camden- ( I taught in Camden, and there is really no safe areas of that city.)
Where do you teach in Union City? I grew up there. Went to St. Augustine and Union Hill H.S.
I must say though..UC has changed a great deal!! I would never want to raise my child there much less purchase a home there..Extremely over populated and the crime..WOW! Thumbs down for Union City, West New York, North Bergen...that entire area. Especially if you have children. I'm not sure about Weehawken..I believe Weehawken is still a nice area..very pricey..but nice.
Actually, I think Phillipsburg is just really old. My uncle's office is there and the people seem okay, but everything is just old and not well kept. But I still wouldn't live there
