1 Bedroom Apartments for Rent in East Orange, NJ

East Orange has more mid-size elevator and garden apartment buildings than its neighbors, particularly along Central Avenue and around Elmwood Park, alongside the usual two- and three-families. Larger buildings mean on-site supers, laundry rooms and more consistent unit layouts, so what you tour is usually close to what you saw in the photos.

Right now we are showing 7 1 bedroom units in East Orange, priced from $1,550 to $1,695 a month, with a median asking rent of $1,650. That range is what owners are actually asking this week, not a market estimate. One-bedrooms split between purpose-built apartments in larger buildings and the smaller floor of a two-family house. Expect a real separate bedroom rather than an alcove, and expect the shortest application timeline of any size on this page.

Our East Orange inventory is concentrated in the Fourth Ward, Elmwood Park, Presidential Estates, the Central Avenue corridor and Ampere. Brick Church and East Orange stations on NJ Transit's Morris & Essex lines reach Newark Broad Street in minutes and New York Penn Station directly at peak.

Central Avenue-style apartment buildings here commonly include heat and hot water in the rent as a building service; tenants carry electric. In the two- and three-family stock, utilities are more often split, so confirm per unit before you apply. The East Orange Housing Authority handles vouchers locally, and the owners behind these listings accept Housing Choice Vouchers. Larger buildings usually have an existing inspection routine, which tends to shorten move-in timelines.

Trisk Living publishes these Essex County listings on behalf of the owners and management companies that hold them, and connects renters directly with them. Using this page is free for renters — call (973) 412-3881 to ask about a specific 1 bedroom before you apply.
