Is the Parsippany, NJ area safe?

I have heard some awful things about big cities in NJ. I was wondering if it would be safe to lodge in Parsippany, and if the neighboring towns are safe.

Is the Parsippany, NJ area safe?

Parsippany is a nice area in NJ - lots of good shopping, restuarants, hotels, etc.

Is the Parsippany, NJ area safe?

I live further south jersey but i think the surrounding towns to Parsippany may not be so great

I am currently staying at the Embassy Suites in Parsippany. I am staying a week. I have driven, walked and taken a cab to several places, and have felt very safe. After spending several days prior in New York, I feel very safe here. In addition th is hotel is very nice.

Parsippany NJ is basically safe, although there are some ';seedier'; areas. I grew up in a neighboring town. Most (not all) of the neighboring towns have relatively little crime and a high per-capita family income close to 100K/year. I was surprised that someone wrote that the neighboring towns aren%26#39;t that nice.

Parsippany is surrounded by Denville, Montville Township, Pine Brook, Whippany (Hanover Township), Boonton Township, and East Hanover. Mountain Lakes has homes that are easily over 1 million dollars and up in terms of real estate.

As far as places to stay, I would stay away from anything on Route 46....the Howard Johnson%26#39;s and the Holiday Inn have had cars broken into in the parking lot.

There%26#39;s a Hampton Inn which is on Cherry Hill Road near Mountain Lakes that looks ok.

East Hanover has a Courtyard by Marriott on Route 10 which looks nice as well.

If you have some hotels in mind, I might be able to offer some advice.

I forgot about the Embassy Suites....that%26#39;s also a very nice hotel and the restaurant is supposedly good as well. (It%26#39;s on Route 46). :)

I grew up there too. I%26#39;m surprised to see someone say the area isn%26#39;t safe.

When I return I frequently stay in the Courtyard by Marriott in E. Hanover/Parsippany. It is nice. It%26#39;s been years but the Parsppany Hilton had a great brunch.

If you%26#39;re uncomfortable in Parsippany, stay in the Short Hills Hilton. That%26#39;s a town with alot of wealth and you%26#39;re right by the Short Hills Mall, for some world class shopping. You%26#39;re definitely safe.

In fact, alot of that part of NJ is very well to do.

Why are you going? Wedding or something?

I live in a town neighboring Parsippany, grew up here all my life but 4 years. There is nothing seedy about Northern NJ.

Parsippany is safe. Embassy Suites is a great place to lodge, beautiful hotel and good food.

THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE! You have put our minds at ease. We were planning on booking a room at the Hampton Inn on Rt 46 ( think it%26#39;s Rt 46) in Parsippany....any advice?

Sheena....we are taking a cruise from NY. First we are picking up my daughter who is being dropped off in NJ.

Enjoy your NJ stay...area is just fine. Take a ride into the Highlands, see the real NJ.
