Which Newark Areas Should You Buy?

[Vishesh Shah]

Hi fellow BPers, I have been investing into Bergen, Union, and Essex Counties in NJ, specifically Newark, as my focus right now. I feel like there is room for a low of growth in certain areas in Newark, following Ironbound and Downtown, similarly to what Jersey City went through this past decade. What areas does anyone who knows the areas and the 5 wards well, think are worth investing in and which ones should you just stay away from, even for fix-and-flipping? The common answer is that North and East Wards are the best, but does anyone think South Ward or any specific areas have room for growth as well? I think Weequahic and certain other parts have potential, or am I just playing with fire?
