When to Search

Try shopping for an apartment in November in Newark. You won't have quite as much to choose from as in the summertime, however, you also won't have nearly as many people looking for a new apartment. It's a good time to strike a balance between availability and competition.

Staying in the Know

Newark is home to some great rental units, and some that are not so great. Always get a look at an apartment and meet with the landlord in person before you sign any agreements. Otherwise, you could find yourself legally locked in to a less than ideal situation very quickly.
