Historic Paulus Hook · Jersey City
The second floor of an 1877 brownstone — 2 bed, 1 bath, 828 sq ft.
Why this one
Shared by the building's four units, with covered bike storage. Green space downtown, not a balcony.
A combined washer-dryer in its own closet. No basement, no laundromat, no shared card machine.
Ducted central HVAC, heating and cooling every room. No radiators, no baseboard heaters, no window units to haul in and out each season.
Four condo units, quiet, on one of Paulus Hook's historic blocks — rented directly by the owner.
The details
Getting around

→ Lower Manhattan & Midtown across the river, plus the Hudson waterfront walkway at the end of the block.
Good to know
Yes — and there is no pet fee and no pet rent. The rent is the rent. All I ask is that pets are well behaved, and that any damage beyond ordinary wear is covered out of the deposit, the same as anything else. Assistance and service animals are not pets and are always welcome.
Yes — a single combined washer-dryer in its own closet inside the apartment. It washes and dries in the same drum, so there are no loads to move across and no venting needed; it takes smaller loads than a separate pair would.
Water and common-area heat are included. You pay electric, gas, and internet.
No — it's a shared common yard for the building's four units, with covered bike storage. It's private to the building, not to this apartment.
One- or two-year lease. One month's security deposit, held in an interest-bearing NJ account as state law requires.
Applied the same way to everyone: minimum income 3× the rent ($11,700/mo gross), minimum credit 600, no prior eviction judgment for cause, and income documented (pay stubs, or the equivalent for whatever your income source is). Housing Choice Voucher holders welcome — the income test applies to your portion of the rent only.
