Best and worst neighborhoods in Passaic

Hi all, I'm a remote worker and Crime rate is something to consider -Passaic sits at 529.9 per 100K. The unemployment rate is 7.6%, which is concerning. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The suburbs are where most families end up.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 1 years ago from Minneapolis and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Springfield. It's excellent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in legal. If you're in retail you might struggle.

People: Generally surprisingly good. It took about 12 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: solid. Tons of options if you like Thai.

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
