EXPERTS IN PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Ready to help you at ANY time of the day... or night
Looking for a rental in New Jersey's capital city? Extra Property Management leases and manages apartments, houses, and townhomes across Trenton — from the historic Mill Hill and Berkeley Square blocks to Chambersburg and the neighborhoods along the Route 1 corridor. We run our rentals from a local office at 354 S Broad St, so you deal with a real Trenton team, not an out-of-town call center.
Trenton offers some of the most affordable rents in the Mercer County / Central Jersey market, with easy access to Philadelphia and New York.
Trenton is New Jersey's capital, and its rental stock reflects that history: block after block of two- and three-story rowhouses, converted historic homes, and small apartment buildings, plus newer units downtown. Rents here run well below what you'd pay in Princeton or the Windsors just up Route 1, which is why so many state workers, students, and commuting families rent in the city. Median gross rent in Trenton sits in roughly the $1,200–$1,300 range citywide — genuinely affordable for Central Jersey — though a renovated apartment for rent in a sought-after neighborhood lists higher.
Where you rent shapes the experience. Mill Hill and Berkeley Square are Trenton's leafy historic districts of restored rowhouses. Chambersburg ("the Burg") keeps a tight-knit east-side feel and some of the city's best-known restaurants. Near the Trenton Transit Center, a rental puts you on the NJ Transit Northeast Corridor and SEPTA line, with direct trains to Philadelphia and New York — so you can commute without a car. Weighing houses for rent in Trenton NJ against apartments usually comes down to space in the outer wards versus walkability downtown.
Available apartments and houses for rent in Trenton turn over quickly, so rather than list units here that may already be leased, we keep availability current by phone. Call 609-800-2060 or send us a message to hear what Trenton rentals we have open now, what's coming soon, and what fits your budget, bedroom count, and neighborhood — and we'll flag units before they hit the portals.
Our application process is straightforward and the same for every applicant — here's what to expect.
Call us to hear current Trenton availability and book a showing. We'll walk you through the unit, the neighborhood, and the lease terms so there are no surprises before you apply.
Apply online. Each adult applicant completes a short form and pays the application fee, which covers screening. Have your ID, recent pay stubs, and rental history ready to speed things up.
We review credit, income, rental history, and background consistently for every applicant. Most owners look for verifiable income around three times the monthly rent. We turn decisions around quickly and tell you if anything's missing.
On approval you sign the lease and pay first month plus a security deposit (New Jersey caps it at one and one-half months' rent). We document the move-in condition, hand over keys, and set you up on the tenant portal.
Renting from a professional manager should be easier than renting from a landlord you can only reach by text. In a Trenton unit we manage, you pay rent online, request repairs through your portal at any hour, and reach a real local team at our S Broad Street office. We keep our units in good condition and move fast when something needs fixing — exactly what our renters tell us in their reviews.
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.
Trenton rentals move fast, so the surest way to see current availability is to call us at 609-800-2060 or send a message. Tell us your budget, bedroom count, move-in date, and any preferred neighborhood, and we'll tell you what's open in Trenton right now and what's coming soon.
Each adult applicant fills out an online application, pays the application fee, and provides a photo ID, proof of income such as recent pay stubs, and rental history. We screen credit, income, background, and rental references the same way for everyone. Most owners look for verifiable income around three times the monthly rent.
Every EPM tenant gets an online portal. You pay rent there with reminders so nothing slips, and you submit maintenance requests any time of day and track them to completion. If you'd rather talk to a person, our local Trenton team is a phone call away at 609-800-2060.
We handle rentals across Trenton, including the Mill Hill and Berkeley Square historic districts, Chambersburg, and neighborhoods near the Trenton Transit Center and the Route 1 corridor, plus surrounding Mercer County towns. Inventory shifts by neighborhood, so call us and we'll point you to what's open where you want to live.
