房源位置

It is very important to us that you understand our location before booking as that is the one thing we cannot change. We are in the Lower Broadway neighborhood just north of Downtown Newark which is home to a diverse population of Latinos and immigrants from other backgrounds. This means that great food, access to public transportation, shows and many other great perks are within walking distance.
This is a vibrant neighborhood that, like other key areas of Newark, is going through significant renewal and redevelopment, processes that are still very much under way (i.e., we are not as beautiful as we will soon be). If you don't let yourself be stopped by the couple of lots waiting redevelopment around us, you will find an array of small family-run restaurants and stores within 1-2 blocks radius of the apartment. Still, while luxury condos have begun to pop up here and there, we feel safe, and we think our neighbors are among the best, the Lower Broadway still remains much more ethnic and unpolished than trendy and manicured. Please look it up before booking :)
We are also on a street that gets busy during rush hour, and that also means a little extra noise, particularly in the warmer months. It is not uncommon to hear Salsa and Latin music blasting from cars passing by, from the neighboring shops, or coming from the various music festivals held in the riverfront. (We do provide top of the line disposable earbuds in case you want them).
SAFETY
We can honestly say that we love it here and feel safe. Our neighbors are friendly and, for the most part, truly awesome. The two-block walk between our house and the train station -- aside from dealing with some ongoing construction around the train station (which can make the use of some sidewalks a bit less straightforward) -- is rather uneventful and often shared with other people commuting to/from NYC for work.
There is also a Police Station 4-5 blocks away from the house.

Street parking is relatively easy and access to public transportation is great. We are 2 blocks north of the Broad Street Station which has NJ Transit trains to NY Penn Station right in Midtown Manhattan (a 20 minute ride and a $5.25 fare). PATH trains are 1.4 miles away or a short and cheap Uber ride. We are steps away from several bus lines and within an easy stroll of Rutgers-Newark, NJPAC and the Prudential Center (a 20 minute walk). Newark International Airport is less than 5 miles away, and the Go28 bus -- which can take you to/from the airport in as little as 18 minutes -- stops 1.5 blocks away from our door.
