OK so currently I live and work in Manhattan, NYC...but yesterday I went to view an apartment in a three family hourse about a mile or so from downtown Newark. I was impressed, 2 bedrooms, an included attic, bay windows, etc. floors varnished to a mirror like finish. GREAT PRICE!
Yet, when I shared with my friends about it, they all looked at me like I was crazy. "Didn't you hear about the crime rate over there? and about the old mayor who got into trouble for stealing funds, and the college kids who got killed, etc"
However, where I was didn't seem rough at all. It was next to the city hall, financial centers etc.
Should I listen to my friends (and the stats from an online crime stats website) and look elsewhere?
Or should I listen to my pocketbook and take the apartment?
