Paterson, NJ Apartments for Rent

Paterson earned its nickname Silk City during the late 1800s when silk production drove the local economy, and today it stands as Passaic County's largest city. Just 15 miles from New York City, this former mill town has transformed into a key part of the New York–New Jersey metro area. If you're searching for apartments for rent in Paterson, you'll discover everything from historic brownstones to modern apartment communities, with one-bedroom units averaging around $1,437 and two-bedroom units averaging $1,932.

Renting in Paterson gives budget-minded renters an affordable option compared to neighboring metro areas while keeping Manhattan within easy reach through major highways and public transportation. The Great Falls Historic District serves as the city's centerpiece, where the Great Falls of the Passaic River—now a National Historical Park—tells the story of Paterson's industrial past. South Paterson brings Mediterranean and South American flavors to Main Street and Market Street through its diverse markets and cafes, while the Eastside Park Historic District preserves beautiful architecture around a sprawling 66-acre park. Downtown Paterson blends historic Beaux-Arts buildings with newer developments. The Paterson Farmers Market runs all year long, and Garden State Plaza sits just a quick drive away for those major shopping trips.
