HOMES THAT BECKON THE JERSEY SHORE

Invited Guest Meg Fox

Renowned for its 2-mile stretch of pristine, family-friendly beaches and scenic oceanfront boardwalk —( the longest non-commercial boardwalk in the state) — Spring Lake Borough in Monmouth County is a Jersey Shore gem. More than a summer resort, this year-round community captivates with its tree-lined streets, breathtaking homes, layers of history, and quaint downtown shopping area.

It’s also a front porch kind of town that beckons back to quieter, more simple times.

Town Highlights

Dubbed “The Jewel of the Jersey Shore” — and justifiably so— Spring Lake is also home to the highly acclaimed Spring Lake Theatre Company; the Spring Lake Kitchen Tour, a fall tradition that draws people from near and far; and the nationally recognized Spring Lake 5 Mile Run, considered one of the best running events in the nation and a great source of town pride.

 

 Present-day Spring Lake is known for its gracious homes, elegant architecture, and manicured lawns. Especially, its manicured lawns! Historic Inns, Bed & Breakfasts, as well as well-appointed hotels along the beach also maintain their architectural integrity, grace, and charm in this town.

Building Trends
Many homes pay tribute to the local building characteristics of the period and are reimagined for modern living. What’s considered a classic Spring Laker is a classic seashore colonial that is well maintained with a large, shady porch, cedar siding, and a cedar roof,  Driving through the community you at once realize the effort and dedication homeowners have to the overall architecture with each home. 

WHAT THEY WANT

Homeowners seek open floor plans and ensuite baths. Pools are also in demand, extra-large kitchen islands, as well as low-maintenance exterior materials.  More recently, home offices have become a necessity, with home gyms also increasing in popularity. Many are also incorporating elevators into new construction when planning for multi-generational use.

Why People Live Here


When visitors come to Spring Lake,  they feel welcomed and have a wonderful time. — sometimes purchasing a home of their own here. It goes beyond summer weekend use.  It is the kind of family town that makes Spring Lake so special.

It is that sense of community and the ability to walk into town and the beach they find so appealing. Meet your friends, bicycle to town or the beach- for surfing or a run on the boardwalk- all minutes away. Waterfront dining at Bareli’s on Ocean Avenue or at the Grand Victorian; with cocktails on the porch, always feels special. As do walks around the lake  — especially at night — when St. Catharine’s Church is all lit up. The view is other-worldly.  It does seem you are in another European country!
