Furnished Apartments New Jersey

Every city in New Jersey brings something different to the table, and many of the furnished apartments on offer reflect this urban diversity. Jersey City may be one of the most visited places in the state; on the border between NJ and NY, its eastern waterfront lies on the Hudson River, and trips to and from The Big Apple are a simple matter, thanks to the regular ferry services and Holland Tunnel.

Princeton is most commonly known for its Ivy League University; the campus features a Collegiate Gothic-style chapel and a vast collection of assorted artworks by contemporary painters and the old masters. Trenton is the capital city of NJ and the county seat of Mercer County and was very briefly the capital of the whole United States in 1784. Newark meanwhile is particularly well known as a center for performing arts, as well as its green spaces and historic Basilica of the Sacred Heart, which first started construction in 1898.

Finally, who could forget New Jersey’s iconic Atlantic City? A great destination for corporate getaways and party tours, this resort city is replete with boardwalks, beaches, and casinos for both those who like the excitement and those who like to take it slow.

Apartments here can run up quite a price, so it’s always worth checking for the best deals with TheSqua.re before traveling.

Facts About New Jersey

Bordered by the states of New York and Pennsylvania, the peninsula of New Jersey constitutes one of the smallest states in America, though a large number of residents also makes it the most densely populated state. The area was first inhabited by Native American tribes such as the Lenape, who lived along its coast for more than 2,800 years before the Dutch and Swedish settlers founded the first European settlements. The English would later seize control of the region and name it the Province of New Jersey after the largest Channel Island. During the 18th century, NJ was the site of several important battles during the American Revolutionary War.

The state underwent a period of great industrial growth in the 19th century, with the cities Camden, Trenton, Paterson, Newark, Elizabeth and Jersey City, known as the ‘Big Six’, leading the charge. New Jersey’s location at the center of a group of developing cities (New York, Boston, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and Baltimore) fuelled its rapid growth, with more people choosing to settle in the state and build up commuter towns and suburban neighborhoods outside the major cities. A thriving business hub today, NJ’s corporate attitude never needs to leave the boardroom, with the state also housing some of the region’s most stunning geographic wonders.

New Jersey’s population has boomed up to nearly nine million residents in recent years, with a diverse range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds throughout the state.

A largely unknown part of America, there is plenty of things to see and do in NJ; it’s just a matter of getting out and finding it.
