Renting an apartment in Paterson

Paterson is the largest Passaic County rental market and the most distinct of the five cities we cover: three- and four-family houses dominate, larger bedroom counts are easier to find than in Essex County, and South Paterson and the Eastside carry the deepest inventory. Rents for the same bedroom count typically sit below Newark's.

Right now we are showing 28 apartments in Paterson, priced from $975 to $3,000 a month, with a median asking rent of $1,850. That range is what owners are actually asking this week, not a market estimate. Sizes on this page run from studios through five bedrooms, and the mix shifts daily as owners fill units and release new ones.

Our Paterson inventory is concentrated in South Paterson, the Eastside, Hillcrest, Totowa section and Downtown. NJ Transit's Main Line at Paterson station plus the 703/704/712 bus routes connect to Hoboken, Secaucus and the Port Authority via Route 4 and Route 46 express service.

Multi-family Paterson units are commonly heated by separate per-unit systems, so heat is more often the tenant's cost here than in Newark or Irvington; when heat and hot water are included, it is usually a smaller two-family with one boiler. Electric is tenant-paid. The Paterson Housing Authority administers Housing Choice Vouchers, and Passaic County vouchers port in. The owners behind these listings accept vouchers.

Trisk Living publishes these Passaic 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 apartment before you apply.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about vouchers, fees, and how we work.

Do you charge renters a fee?

No. Getting matched, touring apartments, and asking us questions is free. If a landlord charges an application or agent fee on a specific unit, we tell you before you apply.

Do you accept Section 8 vouchers?

Yes. Section 8 and other housing vouchers are welcome, and New Jersey law protects renters from source-of-income discrimination. We work with landlords who accept vouchers every day.

Which cities do you cover?

We focus on North Jersey — Newark, Irvington, East Orange, Elizabeth, and Paterson — plus nearby towns like Hillside, Orange, and Woodbridge.

What if my credit isn't perfect?

All renters are welcome. Tell us about your situation up front and we'll point you toward landlords who work with it instead of wasting your time on applications that won't land.

How fast will someone contact me?

We typically call back within one business day, and often the same afternoon. You can also call or text us at (973) 412-3881 to reach an agent right away.

Are the listings on this site real?

Yes. Listings are updated daily from our own inventory. Rented and off-market units are removed instead of left up as bait.
