What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About West Side Newark

It's really near NJIT. Subway restaurant is really convenient. I like to go to Newark Museum with them.

I like that it is not expensive and there is at least near the downtown area which walkable. There is nothing more than that.

My family and I like a quiet environment. The quiet and beautiful environment around us can not only make people feel happy, but also allow us to take a walk when we are resting, and we can also take our wife and children for a picnic on weekends. It's best to have a lot of gourmet snacks around. In fact, our family is a food lover. Of course, safety is the most important thing.

People in my neighborhood are friendly and easy going to the community .We all can hangout and chill sometime s

I like going out to eat .Also shopping with my friends and family but only when we have the time and money

It's quite. And neighbors seem to be well educated and very friendly. We are close to the path train.
