New Jersey Apartment Rental Info
Rutherford (New Jersey Apartments) Neighborhood Information for Apartment Renters
Rutherford and East Rutherford are situated in the meadowlands, a marshy basin that surrounds the estuaries of the Hackensack and Passaic Rivers. It's a delicate ecosystem that environmentalists have been fighting for decades to preserve, and they've been mostly successful. The HMDC Environmental Center on Valley Road teaches visitors about this remarkable natural resource. The towns are comfortably middle-class.
The Meadowlands is a sports complex that is the home of the Meadowlands Race Track, the Giants (football), the Jets (football), the Nets (basketball), the Devils (ice hockey), the Metrostars (soccer), and the Gladiators (arena football). The stadium also hosts concerts, circuses, ice shows, and a weekly flea market.
