Newark Overview

Located just eight miles from the excitement of New York City, apartments in Newark have been beckoning east coast residents for decades. Offering a compelling mix of convenience, big city amenities and a solid and ever-growing job market base, this working class New Jersey destination might just be the place you are looking for to call home.

What is the history of Newark?

Dating back to the 1600s, Newark is one of the most historic regions of the entire United States, boasting the oldest county park in the nation. British troops raided the city many times during the Revolutionary War, and Newark saw great growth and industry throughout the 20th century. Home to much of the nation's shipping, air and rail freight, this proud New Jersey city has seen even more revitalization since the 1990s.

How is the weather in Newark?

Humid summers and cold, damp winters highlight the Newark region, with snow commonplace in the December - February months. Spring brings with it rain and pollen, making for pleasant temperatures but an up-kick in allergy issues. Fall tends to be quite comfortable 'jacket weather', and the area leaf changing can yield an explosion of color.

How do I get around town?

Residents of Newark apartments should have little issues in the way of public transportation. Newark Penn Station is an enormous rail offering, with easy access to much of the city at large, as well as transfers to Manhattan and beyond. Over a dozen bus routes run through and around the city thanks to NJ Transit, and Newark Liberty International Airport is a hub of east coast air travel.

What is the Newark commute like?

Newark apartment residents commuting to NYC can expect a fair share of traffic, especially during peak morning and afternoon drive times. Construction and the occasional fender bender are sure to contribute to the sluggish pace, and it is for this reason that a lot of locals opt for public transportation rather than a personal vehicle. Interstate 95 acts as a primary roadway of the city, with the Garden State Parkway and a number of Interstates (78, 280) crisscrossing the region.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Star-Ledger' is the leading newspaper in the city, and a number of area arts weeklies such as the 'Village Voice' can be found with ease as well. WABC has been offering radio programming since the 1920s, with other formats including jazz, talk and modern rock readily available.

Why live in Newark, NJ?

One of the most dynamic cities in all of New Jersey, rentals in Newark have much to offer. From nightlife to a flourishing job market, this east coast hot spot is a winning combination of industry, public parks and world-class shopping. Families will undoubtedly love the wide range of school options, and the local infrastructure makes travel a breeze. With the Big Apple just a short commute away, Newark apartments make an ideal settlement for many traveling New Yorkers as well.

What Newark landmarks should I see?

The Cathedral of the Sacred Heart is known the world over for its dynamic Gothic architectural flair, and the Newark Public Library is literally a living historic record of days gone past. The New Jersey Performing Arts Center hosts a number of classical ensembles, and the African Globe Theater boasts a diverse program of dance and dramatic productions regularly.

What is there to do around Newark?

" Get classic with a night of music at the Newark Symphony Hall, or get into the groove with a trip to the Institute of Jazz Studies, home to over 200,000 (!) classic pieces of music. The Paul Robeson Gallery boasts numerous works of art, and the roller-coaster excitement of 6 Flags Great Adventure is a short drive from many Newark apartments."

Any annual festivals or Newark events to know?

Newark is home to a large array of yearly festivals, including such favorites as the Cherry Blossom Festival, the Dodge Poetry Fest and the Newark Black Film Festival. Each July brings the Lincoln Park Music Festival, and the June Gospelfest is a foot-stomping affair that draws large crowds.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Hit the bright lights of Broadway for some theater in the Big Apple, or simply grab the kids and get your beach on with a trip the Jersey Shore mecca of Seaside Heights. Of course, Philadelphia cheese steaks are only a short drive away as well.

Where is the best place to move in Newark?

Newark apartments come in a variety of sizes and floorplans to meet just about every budget, from the thrifty student attending Rutger's University to the career-focuses commuter eager to find an affordable and convenient one-bedroom unti close to public transportation. So start your search today, and start enjoying the New Jersey way of life without delay!
