Jersey City, New Jersey

Short-term rental performance in this profile is measured across the northern New Jersey STR market, a shared submarket that also covers Newark and Paterson. Every performance figure below describes that region rather than Jersey City alone. Housing values and regulations are specific to Jersey City. As of September 2026, the northern New Jersey STR market averaged an ADR of $183 and occupancy of 70.9%, producing average monthly revenue of $3,571 per listing. Compared with a year earlier, occupancy is up 0.8%, ADR is up 15.3%, and revenue is up 10.5%, so growth is coming mostly from rate rather than from additional booked nights. Entire places averaged $239 per night, well above the all-listings figure, with an average lead time of 41.7 days and stays of 4.9 nights. Year to date 2026 averages 60.4% occupancy, a $177 ADR and $2,989 in monthly revenue across nine months, against 64.5%, $157 and $2,867 for full year 2025. That gap shows September’s 70.9% occupancy is a seasonal high rather than a typical month. Jersey City has a population of 302,824 and sits one PATH stop from Manhattan. Liberty State Park draws roughly 5.1 million visitors a year and is the main launch point for ferries to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, while the Exchange Place office cluster generates business travel. Demand therefore blends leisure, sightseeing and corporate stays. The typical Jersey City home value is $657,765, a high entry cost relative to the regional revenue figures. Bedroom, channel and listing-type counts are tracked at a shared regional level rather than uniquely for Jersey City, so this profile omits them. Read this page alongside the regulatory section, because the revenue shown here reflects the wider region and Jersey City itself restricts short-term rentals to owner-hosts.
