Bay St station Montclair NJ

[Arlene Cheng]

Hi! My name is Arlene, my husband and I currently have properties in Jersey City. We are looking to expand our portfolio and we’re looking into the Bay st train station area of Montclair NJ and wondering what other investors think of the area. Reading previous forums, I see there are discussions of how the neighborhood isn’t the most ideal. Granted these forum posts are about 3 years old, is that enough time for the neighborhood to turn over or at least improve? Looking to house hack, but worried for safety concerns. With new luxury condos coming up there must be potential in the area, right? 

Thanks in advance for any advice! We really appreciate it!
