How much does it cost to rent a home in Hillside, NJ?
The median rent for a home in Hillside, NJ is $2,550 per month, though prices vary by neighborhood, size, and property type. As of September 2026, condos tend to be the most affordable option while single-family homes and townhouses are currently more expensive.
How much do you need to make to afford rent in Hillside, NJ?
To comfortably afford the median rent in Hillside, NJ, a household needs to earn roughly $102,000 per year. This is based on the common guideline that households should spend no more than 30% of gross income on housing.

Actual affordability will vary depending on household debts, other living expenses, and overall budget.
Is it more affordable to rent or buy in Hillside, NJ?
In Hillside, NJ, the price-to-rent ratio is 17.2, which generally favors renting. This ratio divides the median home price by the annual median rent: below 15 typically favors buying, 15 to 20 is balanced, and above 20 typically favors renting. Your finances, how long you plan to stay, and costs like mortgage rates, taxes, and maintenance all factor into the decision.
