- SEO title: 133 Highwood Avenue, Leonia NJ | 3-Bed Rental
A real house with a real commute
Here is the trade most Leonia renters are after: a house with character, and a commute that puts you in Manhattan in under an hour. 133 Highwood Avenue gives you both.
This is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom Dutch Colonial from the 1920s, updated where it counts and left with the details that make a house feel like a home. It is available for rent at $4,900 per month starting July 1, 2026.
Most rental searches force a choice. A newer building with a longer commute, or older charm with a compromise somewhere else. This one does not ask you to choose. You get the bus to the city two-tenths of a mile from the front door, and you come home to hardwood floors, a brick fireplace, and a fenced backyard.
The home: 1920s character, updated where it counts
Walk in and the first room is the one that sells people. A full-width enclosed sunroom runs the front of the house, a wall of windows with built-in shelving and bench storage under the sills. It becomes a reading nook, a plant room, or a home office without you trying.
The living room carries the rest of the period feel. Hardwood floors, crown molding, a white brick fireplace, and built-in shelving on each side. The kitchen is the modern counterpoint: white shaker cabinets, marble-look countertops, a subway tile backsplash, gold fixtures, a double sink, a gas range, and a stainless dishwasher, with a rear door out to the yard.
A formal dining room sits next to a den that doubles as a home office, so the work-from-home setup is already built in. A renovated full bathroom with a tiled stand-up shower finishes the first floor.
Upstairs, three bedrooms with hardwood floors share a second renovated full bathroom with a tiled stall shower. Updated baths, original floors. That is the balance the whole house strikes.
Outside, you get a covered front porch, a private fenced backyard with a concrete patio and a fire-pit area, and a detached garage for off-street parking and storage. Laundry is in the basement, with an attic and unfinished basement for everything else.
The commute: Leonia to Manhattan
The nearest bus stop is 0.2 mile from the door, at Broad Avenue and Sylvan Avenue. That short walk is the whole point.
NJ Transit Bus Route 166 runs from Leonia to the Port Authority Bus Terminal at 42nd Street and 8th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan in about 45 minutes, traffic depending. If your office is uptown, NJ Transit Bus Route 182 runs to the George Washington Bridge Bus Station at 175th Street and Broadway in 15 to 25 minutes.
Two routes, two parts of Manhattan, one short walk. For a commuter, that flexibility is worth more than a few extra square feet.
The location: living in Leonia
133 Highwood Avenue sits between Grand Avenue and Broad Avenue, close to Sylvan Park and the Leonia Swim Club. Leonia is a small Bergen County borough that trades on exactly this profile: tree-lined streets, single-family homes, and a quick line into the city.
The address is served by the Leonia Public Schools district in Bergen County. If you want the full picture of the town before you commit, start with the Leonia community page, then explore the interactive neighborhood guides to compare commute corridors, layout, and fit across Northern New Jersey.
Leonia rewards renters who want a house and a yard without giving up the Manhattan commute. This listing is a clean example of that.
Who this rental fits
This home fits three kinds of renters.
The Manhattan commuter who wants the bus close and the ride short. The household that needs three real bedrooms plus a dedicated home office, not a converted corner. And the renter who wants outdoor space, a garage, and 1920s character instead of a rental that feels like every other rental.
