The Arthur is Middlesex County's newest luxury apartment community, located at 21 Washington Avenue in Carteret, NJ. Brand-new studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms with designer finishes, a rooftop terrace with Manhattan skyline views, and resort-caliber amenities — at prices that undercut comparable communities in Edison, Woodbridge, and Rahway.
Why Middlesex County Renters Choose The Arthur
Middlesex County has no shortage of apartment options. What it lacks is a community that combines brand-new construction, a true downtown walkable location, and luxury amenities at a price point that makes sense. The Arthur fills that gap.
Built in 2024 at 21 Washington Avenue, The Arthur sits in Carteret's Cultural Arts and Business District — the fastest-growing downtown corridor in the county. Residents get Manhattan skyline views from the rooftop, private office suites for remote work, and covered garage parking, all in a building that no other Middlesex County community can match on age or finish quality.
