Apartments for Rent in Union City NJ

Perched on the Palisades just west of Midtown Manhattan, Union City makes dining, errands, and big-city access super convenient. When you're looking for apartments for rent in Union City, you'll love the frequent NJ Transit buses along Bergenline Avenue and Kennedy Boulevard that zip you to Port Authority Bus Terminal—usually about 20 minutes door-to-door. Plus, the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at Bergenline Avenue Station makes getting to Hoboken, Jersey City, and Bayonne a breeze. Need to reach Manhattan or the Jersey City waterfront? Just hop over to nearby Hoboken Terminal or Port Imperial in Weehawken for PATH trains and NY Waterway ferries.

Some of the best neighborhoods to check out include the blocks around Bergenline Avenue's shopping district (fun fact: it's New Jersey's longest commercial strip!), the Palisade Avenue area near Washington Park where you'll score great green space and skyline views, plus Union Hill and West Hoboken close to the Weehawken and Hoboken borders. The Summit Avenue and Park Avenue corridors near Park Performing Arts Center and the William V. Musto Cultural Center are also worth exploring.

When you need a break from apartment hunting, head to Washington Park for ballfields and walking paths, cool off at Firefighters Memorial Park's pool, or catch some fresh air at Reservoir Park by the Weehawken Reservoir. And the food scene? You're in for a treat with Cuban bakeries, Dominican cafes, and Peruvian rotisserie joints lining Bergenline. Pro tip: Focus your apartment search near Bergenline Avenue Station or along the Port Authority bus routes to stay close to transit. The 32nd-49th Street blocks have a great mix of mid-rise buildings and walkup homes, all within walking distance of markets, theaters, and those incredible skyline views.
