NeighborhoodScout VS Apartments.com

I found the source. No place in ND made the top 100 list; neither did any make the Safest 100 list. visualcapitalist.com got the data from neighborhoodscout.com. The knife was placed for only for dramatic effect. It was positioned there because it's top center of the map and not in a place that would obscure points on the map. Source: 10 months ago

And San Francisco is a crime ridden shithole. According to neighborhoodscout.com, "With a crime rate of 51 per one thousand residents, San Francisco has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities." Jacksonville, Florida and Mississippi were not part of my comment, so I have no clue why you brought them up. Source: over 1 year ago

Neighborhoodscout.com shows that East Lansing is safer than Lansing. I looked for another example of West Lafayette (Home of Perdue Univ.) having a lower crime rate than Lafayette so in terms of crime, a college satellite city (not sure if it is the right term) has a lower crime rate.

In fact, New Rochelle is the safest big city in New York according to neighborhoodscout.com. Here's how the top 10 biggest cities compare (higher is better. New Ro's 52 rating means it's safer than 52% of US cities). Source: about 2 years ago

I'd say start searching now because you never know what you'll be able to find, try apartments.com, Facebook Marketplace, maybe Craigslist if you're brave, and I found a site called roomies.com where you can find rooms and connect with like minded people also searching.

Even if you aren't renting, I'd look for places using apartments.com commute distance feature. All roads in NJ are not created equal. You'll be able to live much further(cheaper, prettier, more space) the further south or west you go, and more than likely 95 or 80 will serve you better than the Garden State Parkway, Route 1, 9, 18, 27, 130.

If you aren't local, try places like zillow, apartments.com, rentcollegepads, or google places like JSM, MHM, Smile, Green Street Realty, University Group, Roland, Bankier, Ramshaw, etc. Source: 5 months ago

You have the budget to afford one of those luxury buildings. There aren't many (any?) in Somerville like that, I think it's due to permits/regulations or something. But if you up your budget filters on apartments.com you could still find something in Somerville with off street parking included. Source: 5 months ago

I always found hidden gems on Craigslist. People shit on it all the time but I preferred it over apartments.com and the like. No b/s, just pay the owner a flat fee monthly. Source: 5 months ago
