Monmouth Beach

Looking to live on the Jersey Shore, but waiting to find that hidden gem of a town? Congratulations; you just found it! Situated between the popular Sea Bright beaches and the bustling boardwalks of Long Branch, Monmouth Beach offers a quiet suburban feel in one of the nation’s busiest summer destinations. This charming community has a top-ranked school district and great restaurants with proximity to some of the country’s most popular beaches.

Once a Gilded Age beach resort, with such famous visitors as President Ulysses S. Grant, and First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln, the shining community of Monmouth Beach has never lost its sparkle, as today its streets are lined with upmarket residences, from high-rise condos to sprawling seaside homes and quaint Cape Cods. The median home price is around $900,000, quite a bit above the county and state averages, a reflection of the area’s desirability. Monmouth Beach has got the beaches and its got the proximity to NYC and Philadelphia with plenty of commuting options nearby.

The beaches offer plenty of summer fun, but there are so many leisure activities to choose from in Monmouth Beach! The town is home to The Channel Club, popular for nautically inclined residents, who can rent slips for their boats and sail into the Shrewsbury Bay for a day on the waves. This marina also includes two of the town’s most popular restaurants, Beach Tavern, and next door, Abbiocco. There are a lot of homegrown, locally owned businesses in Monmouth Beach, adding to the friendly, small-town feel.

Students attend the Monmouth Beach School from kindergarten through eighth grade and Shore Regional High School from Grades 9-12; the latter consistently rated among the state’s very best high schools.
