From new luxury penthouse apartments, and townhomes to vintage colonials sporting wrap-around porches and walk-up attics. Streets are easily navigated, thanks to James A. Bradley, a progressive industrialist, who had a vision for urban planning.
  • Long Branch – A beachfront town with a NY vibe. Wide sandy beaches are great for swimming and surfing, volleyball courts, an 8-mile path for jogging or strolling, and tons of dining options whether it’s grab and go or fine dining. A few memberships required beach clubs, Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park, Pier Village for some retail therapy, and theatrical performances at the New Jersey Repertory Company. A huge housing boom and redevelopment started in 2005, continually changing the landscape with condos, townhouses, and luxury High Rise apartments.
  • Red Bank – An upscale waterfront community located on the Navesink River. Marina’s, theatres, art galleries, fine restaurants, diners, spas, hair salons as well as nightlife options are readily available. A year-round destination to live, work and play.

  • Freehold Boro – One of our nation’s oldest towns with numerous monuments, landmarks, and colorful American Revolutionary History.
