University Heights is home to Essex County College, the New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Rutgers University-Newark Campus. Sprawling campuses, along with several medical facilities like Saint Michael's Medical Center and Rutger’s University Hospital, dominate the neighborhood but there still plenty of rentals to choose from. Ideal for all renters, University Heights has affordable to upscale rentals available.
This urban neighborhood is nestled beside Downtown Newark, giving easy access to some of the city’s best dining, shopping, and entertainment options. Bike lanes and a light rail system provide transportation options that make it easy to get around, although you may opt to simply lace up your shoes in this walkable neighborhood. Locals enjoy being able to stroll downtown entertainment hubs like the New Jersey Performing Arts Center and Prudential Center.
