The last 2 are safe (I am not sure if the last one is legit) all others are in generally unsafe locations, yeah including the 5th St..
The apartment on 5th St. is not unsafe. I used to live a couple blocks from there on 9th St. It looks like the location is right at 5th & Manila. There is a housing project around the corner on Manila, but I used to walk through there all the time and it's really not bad, nor did I ever hear of anything bad going on there. It's not the best location, but if it's really only $750 for a 3BR then it's a good deal. If legit, I would definitely go for it. From there you can walk to either Newport or Grove St. path stations (about a 10 minute walk to each). It's also within easy walking distance to the mall and Shop Rite.

Sure passing by the housing project may be ok but what about LIVING right nearby? I wouldn't!
