    I've lived at Dvora for four months, as my first residency in New Jersey. The staff (doormen) are always so welcoming and pleasant - they greet everyone that enters the building and know the residences by name. Its a very welcoming complex. The only negative is that that the leasing office is impossible to get a hold of. They don't have a direct number or email, which makes it complicated to resolve issues.

    I have lived here for over a year now and have no issues. The amenities and staff are great, and its a great value for the apartment. I wish there was slightly more directly around the building but I knew that when I moved in. The shuttle to the PATH is a huge bonus and I use it almost daily. Would definitely recommend!

Living in Jersey City, NJ

Living in location

Situated across New York City's Hudson River, Jersey City is one of the most popular cities to rent in New Jersey. Plus, this small city offers proximity to the bustling Manhattan borough, making it ideal for renters who work in New York City, but who want to rent in a more affordable area with a mix of rental housing options. Specifically, Jersey City attracts renters with its tight-knit community, rich history, cultural diversity, and thriving arts and culinary scenes. Boasting a humid, subtropical climate, Jersey City renters will enjoy four-season weather with average temperatures of 26°F to 86°F. There's moderate snow during winter, while spring and summer bring rainy days with some heat waves and thunderstorms in summer.

Liberty State Park offers a vast expanse for recreation and relaxation with amazing views of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline. The city is also home to many unique neighborhoods, each with its distinct charm, from the historic Paulus Hook to the vibrant Journal Square. The growing tech and startup community, combined with world-class educational institutions, make Jersey City an emerging hub for innovation. Additionally, the public transportation system ensures easy commutes, further enhancing the appeal of living here.

Renting in Jersey City, NJ

Jersey City offers a variety of rental housing options, mainly apartments in high-rise buildings in the city center, many of which overlook the Manhattan skyline, Statue of Liberty and the Hudson River. Or, for a more affordable option, there are also single-family homes and historic brownstone townhomes for rent throughout the city. Popular neighborhoods to rent in Jersey City include Journal Square, Hamilton Park, Van Vorst Park, The Heights and Bergen-Lafayette. Many rentals in Jersey City also come with amenities like fitness centers, rooftop decks, parking facilities and communal spaces. Notably, Jersey City is subject to rent control, which means landlords cannot raise the rent by more than 4% or the inflation rate per year, whichever is greater. Additionally, the security deposit amount is typically 1.5 months' rent and kept in a separate, interest-bearing bank account.
