Clifton, NJ Houses for Rent

Clifton is a regional commercial hub in Passaic County, serving as a bedroom suburb of New York City just 15 miles west of Manhattan. As North Jersey's fourth-most populous city with over 90,000 residents, Clifton is crisscrossed by several major highways that make it convenient for commuters. If you're searching for apartments for rent in Clifton, you'll discover plenty of options in this established community, from studio apartments averaging around $1,761 to larger units in various neighborhoods across the city's 12 square miles.

Renting in Clifton offers practical advantages for anyone who needs access to New York City while preferring a more suburban setting. The city provides direct routes via Routes 3 and 46, plus the Garden State Parkway, making commutes manageable by car or public transit. Main Avenue serves as the downtown area with local shops and dining, while the historic Weasel Brook Park, designed by the renowned Olmsted Brothers landscaping firm, offers green space for outdoor activities. Apartment communities are scattered throughout Clifton's established neighborhoods, with median household incomes around $86,000 reflecting the city's stable residential character. Renters also benefit from proximity to seasonal farmers' markets and working farms like Ploch's Farm, which has operated since 1867, adding to the area's longstanding community atmosphere.
