Kearny Overview

From epic beaches to the nightlife of Atlantic City, New Jersey is famous for its hectic East Coast lifestyle, and that's why some residents choose to live in the charming suburb of Kearny. The small town is a little quieter than nearby Newark and just a stone's throw away from Manhattan. Residents of Kearny know the town as "CAR-knee," but out-of-towners will usually try to call the town "KEER-knee," which might elicit a laugh or two from a local. However, as long as you remember how to pronounce the town's name, you shouldn't have any problem settling in this relatively quiet suburb.

Why live in Kearny, NJ?

One of the best reasons to find an apartment in Kearny is if you have a family and want to experience a friendly small-town atmosphere while still having access to a wealth of employment and entertainment opportunities. Not only is Kearny a great place to live for families, but it's an excellent option for anyone who works in New York City and needs a home that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Kearny is a perfect choice for commuters, as well as families who want to spend their weekends at soccer games and have fun at the beach. The town has a surprising number of cute shops and cozy local restaurants, but big-city adventures are never too far away.
