Union City, NJ Apartments for Rent

Union City, NJ sits across the Hudson River from New York City, offering residents stunning Manhattan skyline views from its position on the Palisades ridge. This compact 1.29-square-mile community has deep historical roots, once serving as America's embroidery manufacturing hub and later becoming home to a substantial Cuban community following the Cuban Revolution of 1959.

Located just minutes from Manhattan, Union City provides more affordable housing options than its neighbors. The city's excellent transportation network includes frequent NJ Transit bus service to Manhattan's Port Authority Bus Terminal and access to the Bergenline Avenue Hudson-Bergen Light Rail station. Bergenline Avenue, the city's main thoroughfare, features an array of local businesses and eateries that showcase the area's Hispanic heritage. Residents can enjoy outdoor recreation at Washington Park and Reservoir Park, combining city living with community green spaces.
