Find a New Brunswick Apartment

New Brunswick is a city of roughly 55,000 people in New Jersey. It is part of the seemingly never-ending string of cities that extends out from Manhattan, and is located less than 30 miles away from the core of NYC. Despite being so close to what many consider one of the greatest cities on the planet, New Brunswick has managed to develop its own unique character and identity.

The most prominent feature of New Brunswick is certainly Rutgers University. Rutgers is a very well regarded public school that is among the largest in the country, with more than 65,000 students enrolled. It is a major employer, with close to 10,000 staff. The school counts four Nobel Prize winners among its alumni.

When to Search

The large population of Rutgers makes up a good portion of the renters in New Brunswick. That means that your best times to look for apartments will be at the end of the semesters. November and December in the fall or April and May in the spring are ideal apartment hunting times.

Staying in the Know

New Brunswick landlords are wary of some of the pitfalls that you can run into when constantly renting to college students. If you can prove that you have the means to pay your rent, such as through a letter of employment or a consignor, you'll have a step up. Also, projecting a quiet, calm demeanor is helpful, as landlords worry about renting to college students that will throw constant parties as well.

Bars
