University Heights.

Campus-adjacent Newark - practical, connected, and steadily improving. A smart pick when value matters.

The commute

A short hop to Newark Penn by Light Rail, bus, or a quick drive. Downtown is close enough that many renters treat it as an extension of it.

The streets

Anchored by Rutgers-Newark, NJIT, and University Hospital - the neighborhood runs on campus and hospital energy, with growing retail along the main corridors.

The stock

Multi-family homes, smaller apartment buildings, and conversions. Studios to 3-bedrooms, often at meaningfully lower rents than the new downtown towers.

Who it fits

Students, hospital and university staff, and anyone who wants downtown access without downtown pricing. Several buildings we lease here are voucher-friendly.
