In your early twenties, you’re often happy with a kitchen and a bed. And in your forties, renting an apartment means peace, quiet, recreation, and a lot less to take care of.

What happens in between? Many apartments in NJ are tailored to professionals in their late twenties and thirties when an active social life is likely your primary concern.

Here’s what to look for when searching rentals at BestRentNJ and in your conversations with property managers:

Location. Nevermind your commute to work—what about the restaurants, clubs, bookstores, and other things to do within a 15-20 minute drive?

Entertainment. Is there a game and/or media facility? What about events like movie nights, TV watching parties, or wine tastings? Is there a community room for hosting private parties?

Perks. Are you able to rent / sign out bikes, iPads, or other devices as needed? Do residents receive discounts at local businesses? What’s the gym like?

Parking. Do guests have easy access? Can you easily acquire another space if needed?

Decoration. Are you able to paint, paper, or hammer nails into the wall? Look closely at the decoration policy—you want an apartment that looks like you.

With BestRentNJ at your side and these questions in mind you’re sure to find an apartment in New Jersey that suits your lifestyle. Want to know more? Dig into our blog and stay tuned for more tips on rentals at BestRentNJ.
