Looking for a home or apartment for rent in Princeton? Extra Property Management leases and manages rentals across Princeton and Mercer County — from walkable downtown apartments near Nassau Street to townhomes and houses near Route 1. We're a real local team rated 4.8 stars across 253 Google reviews, and we make renting simple: online application, clear criteria, and a tenant portal.
Princeton is one of central New Jersey's most sought-after places to rent — and one of its most competitive.
With Princeton University, a walkable downtown along Nassau Street, and top-rated schools, Princeton draws graduate students, university and hospital staff, and professionals commuting to New York or Philadelphia on the Northeast Corridor. That demand keeps rents at the higher end of Mercer County and quality units moving fast. Downtown and around campus lean toward apartments and smaller multi-family units near the Dinky, while the Princeton Shopping Center, Riverside, and Route 1 offer more townhomes, condos, and houses for families wanting more space. Every EPM-managed rental comes with a straightforward lease, a real point of contact, and an online portal.
Applying is done online and moves fast in a competitive market — here's what to expect.
Tell us what you want — a downtown apartment, a townhome near the schools, or a house — and we'll point you to current Princeton listings that fit and schedule a showing.
Each adult applies online and pays the application fee, providing ID, recent pay stubs or proof of income, and rental history. Having these ready lets you apply the same day.
We review credit, income, rental history, and a background check against clear, consistent criteria, aiming for a prompt decision. Most owners look for income around three times the rent and a solid payment history; guarantors welcome for students and recent grads.
Once approved, you sign the lease and pay the first month's rent plus a security deposit (capped by NJ law at one and a half months' rent). We document the move-in condition, hand over keys, and set up your portal.
Renting from a professionally managed company should feel different from an absentee landlord. Lease a Princeton home managed by Extra Property Management and you get a written lease that spells out expectations, a legitimate way to pay rent, and maintenance that's actually handled.
Apartments and houses for rent in Princeton come and go quickly, so we don't list a fixed inventory here — it would be out of date within days. Instead, tell us what you're looking for and we'll match you with current EPM-managed rentals nearby.

Great team. They have good properties, all in good condition, and they're very fast and efficient. I can't wait to move into my new place.
Availability changes constantly, so we don't post a fixed list here. Call 609-800-2060 or use the contact form with your budget, size, and move-in date. We'll match you with current EPM-managed rentals nearby, or add you to the list.
Each adult applies online and pays an application fee covering the credit and background check. Have your photo ID, recent pay stubs or proof of income, and rental history ready. Getting these together before you tour lets you apply the same day — an advantage where good units lease fast.
Criteria vary by property but generally include verifiable income around three times the rent, a satisfactory credit and payment history, and a clear rental background. Because Princeton draws students and recent graduates, many owners accept qualified guarantors. We apply the same standards to every applicant.
New Jersey law caps the security deposit at one and one-half months' rent. We hold it in a separate account as required, document the move-in condition with photos, and return it after move-out per state timelines, minus any allowable deductions. That documented walkthrough is the best protection for your full deposit later.
Everything runs through your online tenant portal. You pay rent electronically with reminders and a clear record each month, and can submit a maintenance request anytime. We dispatch vetted vendors and follow up so issues get resolved.
