    "I don’t like that some people don’t pick up after their dogs. I also don’t like how little care the sanitation department takes when taking up the trash, broken glass everywhere. I do like the proximity to Branch Brook Park."

    "The ironbound area is an overpriced arwa for what it offers. The best thing about living here is that it is close to Newark Penn Station. but it is jot a safe area (mainly Northeast side). The pipes have not been changed for decades, I'm talking about the tubulation that goes from the city into the ironbound, which means that there is a high level of lead in the water. If you decide to live here, make sure to do some water testings and also to install a great water filter."
