Average rent in New Jersey

The median asking rent in New Jersey is $3,000 as of July 2026, based on active rental listings statewide. We report the median — the midpoint of asking rents — because it tracks the typical listing more reliably than a simple average, which luxury and outlier listings can skew.

Against an average home value of $537,032, that rent level prices New Jersey at a 7.21% gross rental yield. Rent and yield vary widely by metro — use the metro breakdown below to compare individual New Jersey markets.
