Searching for apartments near Rahway, NJ? The Arthur in Carteret is 10 minutes from Rahway Station — giving you the same NJ Transit access to Penn Station (36 minutes) with brand-new construction, a rooftop terrace with Manhattan skyline views, and luxury finishes that Rahway's older rental stock simply can't offer.
The Commuter Case for The Arthur
Rahway Station is one of the most important transit nodes in Central New Jersey. From Rahway, NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor line runs directly to Penn Station Manhattan in roughly 36 minutes. The Arthur in Carteret puts you 10 minutes from that same station by car — making it a legitimate commuter base for anyone working in Midtown or the Financial District.
Beyond NJ Transit, The Arthur sits 5 minutes from NJ Turnpike Exit 12, the Garden State Parkway, and the Outerbridge Crossing. And by 2028, the Carteret Multimodal Ferry Terminal is projected to offer direct ferry service to Manhattan from Carteret's own waterfront.

Why New Construction Beats Downtown Rahway Rentals
Rahway has seen real downtown investment in recent years, but its apartment inventory skews older. The trade-off when you choose The Arthur over a downtown Rahway unit: you add a 10-minute drive to the station, and in exchange you get a brand-new apartment, a rooftop with skyline views, private office space, covered parking, and an on-site dog run — none of which exist in Rahway's existing rental stock.
For remote workers or hybrid commuters who only travel to the city 2–3 days per week, that trade is an easy one.
