When Rebecca Mark took a job in January as director of the Institute for Women’s Leadership at Rutgers University, she and her partner, Brenda Currin, who are both in their 60s, knew they wanted to live in the college’s home of New Brunswick, N.J., rather than the suburbs.
“We were looking for a place that was biking distance to campus and walking distance to the train station,” Ms. Mark said. She and Ms. Currin, an actress, decided to rent a two-bedroom apartment in Premiere Residences, a new 23-story rental building that also houses the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center.
