Trenton, NJ Apartments for Rent

As New Jersey's capital city, Trenton combines deep historical roots with contemporary city living. The city played a pivotal role in American history, serving as the temporary capital of the United States in 1784. Today, history buffs can explore the Old Barracks Museum and tour the stunning New Jersey State House.

Located along the Delaware River, Trenton offers excellent transportation connections to major metropolitan areas. The Trenton Transit Center serves as a hub for Amtrak, NJ Transit, and SEPTA rail services, making travel to Philadelphia or New York City convenient for residents.

Trenton's neighborhoods each have their own character, from the bustling Downtown district to the tree-lined streets of West Ward. The rental market reflects this diversity, with one-bedroom apartments averaging $1,505 per month. The city's cultural scene centers around institutions like the New Jersey State Museum, Trenton City Museum, and the 100-acre Cadwalader Park, a masterpiece designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the same architect behind New York's Central Park.
