Hi guys, I'm considering moving to Sip Avenue and Tonnelle Avenue. Is that area safe? I notice it is only a short walk from the Path (is this a safe walk?). Is it safe for an early 20 years old girl to walk around there? I also notice there is a C-Town around there, is it save around C-Town too? I heard from threads posting avoid the Bergenline buses at all costs. These buses are far away from the Sip Ave. and Tonnelle Ave., right? Anything will help! Thanks guys!

I'm not sure what the issue is with the buses. You won't have much use for them. I don't see how those buses will give you much trouble unless you use their services or you're stuck behind one of them while you're driving.
The area is OK. It's a city, so you would want to keep your wits about you if going for a 3am stroll (though it is well lit, and there are local businesses open very late such as the diner and some of the arab groceries). During the day, it's fine.
But where is that 1/9 truck area though? Plenty of hookers at the sip ave. and tonnelle area area or at that 1/9 truck area? I probably only go out during the day time to work and come back in the evening and spending day time out during the weekend around the area though. Thanks guys!!!
Sip/Tonnele is a fine area. The neighborhood is a bit grimey, but it's not very dangerous in terms of violent crimes. But I'd keep my eyes open when walking around. The Sip/Tonnele intersection is among the top in the state for vehicle/pedestrian crashes. Lots of hurried left-turns and red-light running there, and the buses are some of the worst offenders. So walk with care.

I think you mean Bergen Avenue buses. Bergenline is Union City. You have no need to take them unless your traveling south towards the greenville area or Bayonne. As Lamminus posted it's busy and a commercial area so keep your head up or you will have tire treads on your back. As for safety not the best nor worst I would put it in the middle. Large middle eastern population. The first world center bomber had a mosque at that location 4 buildings north of Sip and Tonnele. Luckily he's doing a life sentence now.
I grew up in that area when I was a teenager...my best friend lived in that area his mom owned a hair stylist business for women (believe it was called Stella's Salon on Sip ave.) Lots of very old but nice apt. buildings there. Its a very good area to walk to Path trains to work in NYC thats for sure.
There is a house just a few blocks from there where George Washington had a meeting once..think its called the Apple tree house.
