The Law School is ideally located near Newark's most vibrant neighborhood, known as the Iron Bound district. This area is known for its Portuguese and Spanish restaurants, bakeries and shops. Many students find housing in the Iron Bound area, as well as the recently renovated Renaissance Towers, an apartment and condominium complex located within two blocks from the Law School. The Law School's neighborhood is also home to the recently opened New Jersey Performing Arts Center and historic Newark Penn Station, which allows for frequent connections to the rest of New Jersey and New York. Hoboken offers many well-preserved brownstones and blocks of apartments that are located within easy commuting distance of the school, through the use of public transportation or car.
Jersey City is a diverse, eclectic community and a major manufacturing and transportation center.
Beyond some superb views of Manhattan from vantage points along the Hudson River, Jersey City offers many housing options ranging from restored brownstones to modern high rises.
