Find a Trenton Apartment

Trenton is another of the seemingly endless stream of cities that is caught up in the greater metropolitan area of New York City. Despite being considered as part of that huge city, it is actually the capital city of New Jersey. Trenton is a historic city that has a history stretching back three hundred years, and it has played an important part at many times throughout American history.

Perhaps the most well known event to take place at Trenton was the first victory won by George Washington. This marked a huge point in the American Revolution, and certainly started the cementing of General Washington's legend.

When to Search

Because Trenton has a close proximity to Manhattan, you do find that there are several people living here that commute all the way into various parts of the big city to work, which can limit the availability of apartments. However, November seems to be an optimum time to look for apartments in the area.

Staying in the Know

Like all apartments that connect somehow to the area around the Big Apple, Trenton landlords can be tough. However, they're probably not quite as tough as those in the heart of the big city, which is why some people may choose to live out here instead. Just be sure to be professional and polite when you meet with them, as they're on the lookout for people who can't get approved for places in the city,

Transportation

Trenton is very well connected with public transportation. If you just need to travel around the immediate area, you can ride the local busses operated by New Jersey transit. If you need to travel into New York, you can get on the NJ Transit Northeast Corridor rail line and ride the train into New York. There is also another train line that connects the city to Philadelphia.

Where to play

To see some of the revolutionary history of the area, visit the Trenton Barracks, where George Washington's troops stayed during the war. If you prefer nature to history, go fishing on the Delaware River. For dining out, the best food in town is found in Chambersberg, where you will find a great selection of Italian restaurants.

Methodology

Each month, using over 1 million Rentable listings across the United States, we calculate the median 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom rent prices by city, state, and nation, and track the month-over-month percent change. To avoid small sample sizes, we restrict the analysis for our reports to cities meeting minimum population and property count thresholds.
