New Jersey, whose state slogan is "Liberty and prosperity," is the state with the most ethnic diversity in the country. New Jersey has an abundance of religious and ethnic groups, including Jews, Muslims, Christians, Indian Americans, whites, Asians, and Italian-Americans.
The state is home to several well-known sites: the Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal is one of the United States' biggest hubs for marine shipping; the Jersey Turnpike connects Boston-Washington traffic; and Atlantic City offers East-Coast visitors a place to get their gambling fix. While some of the wealthiest counties in the country are located in New Jersey, including Monmouth, Bergen, and Morris, the state is a stronghold of blue-collar pride, perhaps exemplified by the music of Bruce Springsteen, also known as "The Boss." Bruce was born in Long Branch, New Jersey, raised in a working-class household, and went on to write world-famous songs providing social commentary such as "Born in the U.S.A." and "Born to Run." Hair band star Bon Jovi hails from Perth Amboy, New Jersey, and superstar singer Whitney Houston was also born in New Jersey, in Newark. Today Newark is in the headlines thanks to the revitalization efforts of mayor Cory Booker; Booker's nationally recognized leadership attracted $100 million in private philanthropy to Newark.
The largest cities in the state where you might consider looking for apartments for rent include Jersey City, Trenton, and Paterson. Princeton University, Rutgers University, and Drew University are all located in the state, and could be good places to look for apartments for rent and have access to high-quality higher education. New Jersey is one of the largest producers of cranberries, and is also home to the Pine Barrens, a natural water purification ecosystem featuring pines, orchids and carnivorous plants that's designated a United Nations International Biosphere Reserve. If you're looking for a peaceful place to rent in an apartment and get away, the quaint town of Cape May is worth a look.
