I am currently living in Jersey already between lincoln park and JSQ. My wife and I now have a child and are looking to get into a less "ghetto" ish area . I found an apartment that is at crescent and brinkerhoff and it is by a park called "Arlington Park". Does anyone know if that is a good area? It is a 2bdrm for 1000 so I was wondering, it would be good if it was.
I am looking for a place closer to exchange place where I work but we are trying to save a little money ( I do the public transit thing..."yay").
The owner of the apt. called it the "Bergen Hill" area...is it nice?
Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new addition!
For those who may not know, I think you are talking about Jersey City. JSQ being Journal Square and Lincoln Park meaning the park in JC and not the town in NJ.
I'm not familiar with the area in JC that you are looking at, but I'm sure others here will be.

Good luck to you!
I'm so proud of you. No Obama/McCain references anywhere on your last statement.
No...stay away from there.....Arlington Park is on Arlington Ave...not a good neighbor hood at all, you're actually better off where you're at if you can believe that
As Kate has stated DO NOT MOVE THERE. At nighttime that park is overrun with drug dealers, Bloods gang members, prostitutes and every kind of undesirable that JC has to offer. There is a reason the rent is cheaper in that area and it's not a good one especially to raise a child. Good luck try some other areas in JC. You have about 7 or 8 posters that either live in JC or are very familiar with it.
Seems like the search continues . Thanks for the congrats!! It is hard to believe that there is a worse area LOL but I'll take you guy's word for it, prostitutes crackheads and drugdealers oh my!
I would really like to find a good apartment without having to get a realtor involved (which I suspect most people like to avoid) but I am at a loss on where to look for apartment listings, and trying to convince myself that paying over 1000 is ok as I used to live in a nice area in Queens and payed more but it was a fantastic neighborhood, those days are gone as I now need a 2 bdrm and Queens is way to far from the job. Can I just *sigh* one more time
oh yeah no more obama mccain....please god can we just get this process over with haha!
Casany, really the only safe part of Jersey City is the square mile known as "Downtown Jersey City". Some people will say the Heights are OK but I wouldn't live there right now, and trust me I'm a tough son of a gun LOL. I love Jersey City as a whole, but Downtown is the only place I would inhabit.
Downtown is very pricey, but you would have a MINT of a commute to Exchange Place (would more than likely be able to walk).
