Consider 07305 (greenville section). To date, it is a mostly "undeveloped" nongentrified section but the entire west side/440/NJC Univ area is poised for massive redevelopment over the next 5 years. Our home is absolutely gorgeus with alot of historic points. I commuted the 99s right on the corner of JFK for 10 years and Always got a seat and was approx. 40-50 minutes to Port authority. The neighborhood west of JFK quiet (by city standards) and single family. Restaurant/retail limited still but easy access to 440 and/or bayonne Stop & Shop plaza (which is a great store). Our house for sale at $350k for 3 BR, 2 Bath and private backyard a great deal considering the future development of the area. Our block is Woodlawn av and we listed with Prudential Realty. It's a great location to have space and comfort away from the "hubbub" but close enough to enjoy downtown JC activities and NYC events.
