Renting in Jersey City

Jersey City has more renters than owners. About 72% of occupied homes are rented, and 7% of its housing is single-family detached, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2020–2024 American Community Survey. Detached houses are a minority of its housing; most homes are apartments or attached. Half the homes were built before 1972, and homes built before 1978 need a federal lead-based paint disclosure. The median renter household pays $2,007 a month including utilities. That figure includes apartments, so set a house's rent from comparable houses rather than the citywide number.

“I had a great experience with Nomad. They helped me rent out my house smoothly and efficiently. The entire process was easy and well organized. My Nomad contact was amazing — he walked me through everything step by step and made sure I understood the process.”
