Apartments for Rent in Manville, NJ with Garages

Johns-Manville, best known as a supplier of construction materials, located its plant in the area because of the confluences of waterways, railroads and highways in the area. By 1929, the Hillsborough Township -- then the largest township in Somerset County, NJ -- split from Manville by an act of the State Legislature. This was primarily down to the expansion of Manville that had been caused by the rise of industry in the locality. But, enough of history, okay? Nowadays, Manville has left its industrial past behind and much of the former land that was used for manufacturing has long since been redeveloped. As of the 2010 census, the borough had a population that was well in excess of 10,000 inhabitants. It covers an area that is a little under two and a half square miles and only a small proportion of this is water with the vast majority of space being given over to residential dwellings, including apartment rentals. The Central Jersey Regional Airport, mostly servicing single-engine aircraft, lies to the southern edge of Manville. Much of the eastern and northern boundaries are formed by the aforementioned waterways, which made it such a good place for a twentieth century manufacturing base. Village Green Park, a pleasant open space, forms the approximate western perimeter. View Manville City Guide
