I live next to kearny , there no such thing as a ghetto there
It's a nice hardworking blue collar town but some areas have million dollar houses ( Belgrove ave ) as shown in opening scenes of sapranos
Belleville got a lil rough near the Newark border but its nice near the nutley border
Belleville is really a case of 2 different towns, one darker and one still with alot of Italians.
Nutley is still very nice , high taxes a reason and has one of best public schools in the state
