Hillside, NJ Apartments for Rent

Hillside, New Jersey, located in Union County, sits just minutes from Newark and New York City. Apartments for rent in Hillside benefit from the township's location near major highways, including the Garden State Parkway and Interstate 78. This 2.78-square-mile township was incorporated in 1913 from portions of neighboring communities, with its name reflecting the rolling terrain of the area.

Hillside's apartment communities offer convenient access to transportation options throughout the region. NJ Transit provides bus service to Manhattan's Port Authority Bus Terminal, and Newark Liberty International Airport is approximately two miles away. The township features several outdoor spaces, including Conant Park along the Elizabeth River. Kean University's East Campus is partially located within Hillside, adding to the township's educational resources.
