Apartments for Rent in Hoboken, NJ

Welcome to the city that invented the zipper and baseball! Hoboken, New Jersey sits along the Hudson River. It began as an island, surrounded by the river, and was settled in 1643 by Hendrick Van Vorst, who built a house and a brewery on the island. In 1842, a cave in Hoboken called Sybil's Cave inspired Edgar Allan Poe's short story, the "Mystery of Marie Roget." The first baseball game was played in Hoboken in 1846, and the zipper was invented here in 1851. With its proximity to Manhattan, Hoboken residents can quickly reach Midtown Manhattan via public transit. Residents enjoy a terrific view of the Manhattan skyline from the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway, and the city is directly across from the Chelsea neighborhood. While Hoboken is small (it is nicknamed the "Mile Square City"), it features the lively nightlife, restaurants, bars, and events you'd expect from the New York City metro area. Hoboken rentals are ideal for those who want to be close to NYC but don't want to pay the higher rents of the city. Hoboken is slightly less expensive and just a 15-minute train ride from Penn Station.
