The largest city in New Jersey and the second biggest in the New York metro area, Newark has undergone an artistic and cultural renaissance in recent decades. A major international airport and shipping port, several institutions of higher learning, including two Rutgers campuses and the New Jersey Institute of Technology, and the headquarters of Prudential Financial, Panasonic, and PSEG all call Newark home, making it one of the busiest areas in the Garden State. With a melting pot of residents represented across the city's five distinct wards, Newark (which is Essex County's urban center) never fails to stimulate its residents with a diverse, urban landscape. Sitting just eight miles west of Manhattan, Newark allows its residents to easily commute to one of the world's most cosmopolitan destinations, which is just a short drive or train ride away.
