What are the names of some of rough neighborhoods/cities in New Jersey? -

I m choosing a setting for my novel. It needs to be somewhere a rough neighborhood of an urban city.Is Newark rough?

The Oranges - Orange, East Orange (parts of West Orange borders Orange)CamdenPatersonJersey CityNewarkIrvington

Newark (Drugs, GTA, Muggings)Irvington (Cop Shootings)They have a new Governor now so maybe things will change but the Mayors still run the cities.

Yes it is.So is Elizabeth and Jersey City.

No, Newark is upscale.You should set your rough areas in Alpine, Short Hills, or Far Hills.

Try Patterson, Garfield,Stay away from Alpine the people who live there don t like the world knowing what really goes on there

This is the question are for New York City, not New Jersey.

Try Jersey City or Newark. Good luck!
