Where students live
The Easton Ave/Hamilton St house-rental corridor next to the College Avenue campus, and the downtown New Brunswick high-rises.
The market layers a growing purpose-built furnished segment over a large conventional landlord-owned house and apartment stock. Rutgers runs its own portal at offcampushousing.rutgers.edu.
