Rentals

The Valley Arts District is a great place to live and work, especially for artists. The local NJ Transit train station is part of Midtown Direct line. Highway 280 is just blocks away. The towns of Orange and West Orange are committed to environmentally sound, comprehensive redevelopment. Public services – schools, security, waste management -- are good, and getting better all the time. Social service agencies like Valley Settlement House (http://www.valleysettlementhouse.org) offer after school programming, day care and other family support services.

HANDS Inc., in partnership with a variety of public and private funders and collaborators, is committed to creating 100 permanently affordable artists’ live/work rental units; some units are already available in newly renovated historic buildings. In addition, the neighborhood offers elegant living lofts at market-rate prices as well as artists’ studio space, performance space, and commercial space.
