Downtown Perth Amboy Homes for Rent

Downtown Perth Amboy is predominantly a rental market, with over 90% of housing being rental properties. The neighborhood features tightly packed single- and multifamily homes, many of which were built in the early 1900s with Victorian or national designs. These homes typically have limited yard space and street parking. Recreational activities often center around the waterfront, with a walkway east of downtown passing the Perth Amboy Harborside Marina, and Sadowski Parkway Waterfront Park offering a sandy coastline and fishing at the High Street Municipal Pier. Smith Street is lined with chain stores, local shops, and a variety of dining options, including popular Latin eateries like Don Manuel, Mi Tierra, Cuban Cafe, and La Hacienda Restaurant. The Armory, an upscale seafood restaurant, is located just east of downtown along the waterfront. The neighborhood's compact design and wide sidewalks make it convenient for walking to destinations, including nearby churches. The Perth Amboy Station, currently undergoing renovations expected to be completed by summer 2025, provides train service from the Jersey Shore to Penn Station in Manhattan. Commuters by car can access Staten Island via Outerbridge Crossing or South Jersey via the Garden State Parkway. HMH Raritan Bay Medical Center is a mile west, and Newark Liberty International Airport is 14 miles north. The local schools, including Anthony V. Ceres Elementary, McGinnis Middle, and Perth Amboy High, have average ratings.
