Rent to own Homes in Rahway, NJ

A bustling town in Eastern New Jersey -- only a few miles away from New York City -- Rahway was a battle site in the American Revolution, and became an important transit stop throughout the East Coast. It later became a center for manufacturing and industry (notably, the home for the Merck pharmaceutical company) and it's well known for its gorgeous landscape, which includes the Rahway River and several picturesque parks.

Rahway, NJ is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $77,393 and a median rent of $1,271, the Rahway, NJ rent-to-own market is more affordable than the traditional housing market which has shown tremendous growth across the U.S. and with it, aggressive competition for home purchases. With the current housing shortage trend it can make it harder to become a homeowner, including in Rahway, NJ. This means higher than average down payments for homes and higher qualification standards for conventional home loans. With a rent-to-own property, tenants are also buyers. You can live in the house for a set amount of time before you purchase it, meaning that you get to know the house, your neighbors, and your community before making the final purchase. This enables you and your family to make the right choice based on both information and experience. Rent-to-own is also a great alternative way to get into a home if you have bad credit or don't have enough saved for a down payment.
