I think you have to give more details your life style. Are you looking for more of a suburban area or urban? what’s your rent budget ? Do you need access to public trans ? Do you have a car ? All of this matters. There are areas that “on paper” you may not think are good areas but truly are like upper Roseville

Try Walker house - https://livewalkerhouse.com/availability

The apartments are nice but I think you get more bang for your buck at 1180 . It’s more outdated but closer to NY Penn and the Prudential Center,

thanks, do they accept pets? do they do short term leases, like a month or two?

​

Is there a catch?

Just to clarify 1180 is a competing apartment complex. Walker house allows dogs with size and breed restrictions. But they where loosely enforcing it when I was leaving. They only do year and 2 year leases. You might find a hard time getting a short term least at one of the apartment complexes

yeah, when we first arrive, we just want short-term accommodations to get settled in and be able to understand and determine where we actually want to live.

Wouldn't necessarily mind a year, but I am not a fan of apartment buildings.

Look again at the Elevdn80 application portal. I just renewed there for my 2nd year. I recall having short term rental options, but they may have only been available as an existing resident.

Also, the short term leases are much more expensive.

Like everyone is saying your best bet in terms comfortability. Might be to go with one of the big apartment complexes in downtown Newark for a year then decided which are you and your family wants to move. If you have school aged kids. I would. Recommend one of the neighboring towns like Bloomfield or west orange or even east orange

I actually lived in walker house before I bought my 1st multi family home. I was paying 1900 for a one bedroom but the was one 2019-2020 I think for the same apartment it’s more like 2300 now 🙃. I’m glad I house hack now !

I don’t know. But it’s a nice building, in a nice area across from a park and close enough to Pru Center + NJPAC and Broad St. Train Station. <- all within walking distance
