Introducing Nest at 190 Academy Street, a brand-new boutique rental building in Journal Square, offering micro-apartments.
For New York City commuters, professionals, and pied-à-terre seekers, a new kind of living has landed in Jersey City – and it’s redefining smart, convenient urban housing.
Introducing Nest at 190 Academy Street, a brand-new boutique rental building in the Journal Square neighborhood of Jersey City, offering stylish, all-inclusive micro-apartments near NYC starting under $2,000 per month. Ranging from 218 to 232 square feet, these fully furnished studios are thoughtfully designed for modern renters who value location, efficiency, and ease.
Just two blocks from the Journal Square PATH station, Nest puts Midtown and Downtown Manhattan within reach in minutes, making it ideal housing for NYC-based professionals, hybrid workers, students or recent grads, and anyone looking for affordable apartments near Manhattan.

“NYC doesn’t offer anything quite like this,” says Michelle Mumoli of The Mumoli Collective at Compass, who is exclusively handling leasing for the property. “These micro-units meet the needs of today’s commuters who might live farther out but need a smart, low-maintenance space during the week. They also appeal to those relocating to NYC, students, and recent grads who want to be close to everything without breaking their budget.”
At Nest, size doesn’t mean compromise. Each unit features modern finishes and efficient open layouts, all utilities and high-speed internet included, and fully furnished interiors, with Murphy bed options for maximum flexibility.

The building also offers a full range of lifestyle amenities: a year-round rooftop terrace with NYC skyline views and a grill, a gym, community/game room, a 24-hour super, Amazon lockers, and bike and storage options. It’s the closest thing to turnkey NYC living – without the Manhattan price tag.
Amenities include a gym.

Nest is just the latest in a series of boutique lease-up successes for Michelle and her team. After executing a 5-month lease-up of The Roxy‘s 62 units with a vertically integrated, hyper-local marketing strategy, developers have increasingly turned to her for creative, results-driven solutions – especially in Jersey City’s growing rental landscape.
“What sets us apart is that we live here,” says Michelle, a 24-year Jersey City resident. “When someone tours with my team, they’re getting more than just a sales pitch. We know the blocks, the businesses, the energy. And that makes all the difference.”
