Location
Get Directions
Summit sits atop the Second Watchung Mountain ridge in Union County, about 25 miles west of Manhattan, making it one of New Jersey's most well-known commuter cities. The city was incorporated in 1899 and has grown into a commercial hub with a lively downtown district. Renters looking at apartments for rent in Summit will find a small city of roughly 23,700 residents that blends historic character with easy access to one of the country's largest job markets. The downtown Springfield Avenue corridor is home to locally owned coffee shops, international restaurants, and specialty retailers, many operating out of well-preserved historic storefronts.
Renters in Summit can choose from a range of housing options, including apartments, condos, townhomes, and single-family houses available for rent. Garden-style apartment communities and walk-up buildings are common throughout residential neighborhoods, while the areas near downtown offer closer access to dining and shopping.
