Perched on a scenic bluff overlooking Sandy Hook Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, Highlands, New Jersey combines coastal charm with metropolitan accessibility. This waterfront borough, home to the historic Twin Lights lighthouse built in 1862, sits just an hour from Manhattan via the SeaStreak ferry service.
Residents of Highlands enjoy sandy beaches, waterfront restaurants, and recreation opportunities along the Shrewsbury River. The borough's compact size makes it easy to walk to local shops and amenities. Transportation options include NJ Transit and Academy Bus routes to Manhattan. Students attend Henry Hudson Regional High School. Following Hurricane Sandy in 2012, Highlands has rebuilt while maintaining its distinctive maritime heritage and close-knit community atmosphere.

Apartment Finder utilizes the industry's largest and most complete database of real-time rents and availabilities to help you find an amazing deal on your next rental.
Apartment communities change their rental rates often - sometimes multiple times a day. We track the changes and keep you up to date when a rental rate decreases.
"Best value" units are located in buildings rated three stars or higher. We label apartment rentals that are priced significantly less than similar high-quality units nearby.
Apartment communities regularly advertise deals for new residents. Whether it's a move-in special or a free tv, we locate the rentals that offer a little something extra when you sign your lease.
Note: Based on community-supplied data and independent market research. Subject to change without notice.
