Townhomes for Rent in New Jersey

Renting a NJ apartment offers the best of both worlds: proximity to two of the nation’s biggest cities—New York City and Philadelphia—and a lifestyle filled with diverse culture, charming neighborhoods, and natural beauty.

Known as the Garden State, New Jersey boasts lush parks, beautiful beaches, and a variety of living options, from the vibrant city life of Jersey City to the historic charm of Newark, the bustling suburb of Morristown, and the coastal fun of Asbury Park. With average rental prices in NJ offering competitive options compared to NYC and Philly, apartments for rent in New Jersey allow renters to enjoy easy access to urban hubs while savoring the perks of suburban and small-town life.

For commuters and city-lovers, New Jersey’s unbeatable location puts you just a short train ride or drive from Manhattan and Center City Philadelphia. Yet, New Jersey is much more than a commuter’s paradise. The state is home to top schools like Rutgers University and Princeton University, making it a hub for academic excellence and innovation.

Renting an apartment in NJ also gives you the benefit of living in a pop culture icon. New Jersey is famous for producing some of the top rock music stars from the past century, with Jon Bon Jovi hailing from Perth Amboy and “The Boss,” Bruce Springsteen, hailing from the state’s own Asbury Park. New Jersey is also the home to one of the most infamous TV characters in Tony Soprano, with “The Sopranos” primarily taking place in northern New Jersey. And, let’s not forget, NJ is the home of Taylor Ham (or Pork Roll—depending on who you ask) and boardwalk treats made famous on the Jersey Shore and Atlantic City.

New Jersey is also perfect for outdoor lovers, as it has diverse landscapes and easy access to hike the Appalachian Trail. NJ also features stunning beaches along the Jersey Shore and exploration opportunities in the Pine Barrens. New Jersey also offers easy access to sports teams like the New Jersey Devils NHL team and quick drives to catch the Giants, Jets, or Phillies.

Whether it’s the food, the location, or the lifestyle, New Jersey offers renters a hard-to-beat mix of excitement, convenience, and charm. Apartments.com is your place to find a place in New Jersey with our extensive inventory of apartments for rent in NJ!
