Why don't you try Hoboken. Or maybe upscale parts of Jersey City. |

There are some nice parts of Jersey City where many young professionals are settling. Lots of upscale condo's/townhomes being built. |

hi there, actually jersey city is quite large.
try walking in the greenville section at night by yourself. unless you are extremely knowledgeable in hand-to-hand combat or self-defense, you could be safe there. otherwise, i suggest driving by at night to check out the locals in that section.
to sum it up, the 'manhattan equivalents' are:
jersey city heights, downtown and paulis hook.
anymore someone may add? |

other nearby cities that are somewhat equivalent to manhattan:
hoboken, weehawken, parts of union city, parts of jersey city...
a little further west are: montclair and parts of bloomfield (cheaper than montclair)

don't be fooled by all the glitter, it's still unsafe to walk home from pathmark |
