16 · MONMOUTH COUNTY, NEW JERSEY

Atlantic Highlands On the Hill.

A bayfront borough perched on the hillside — Sandy Hook Bay, Manhattan skyline views, and the fastest ferry to New York City.

THE OVERVIEW

The Highest Point on the Atlantic Coast.

Where the Seastreak ferry gets to Wall Street in 35 minutes and nearly every hillside street has a Manhattan-skyline view.

Atlantic Highlands is unique on the Jersey Shore for one reason: the elevation. The town is built up a steep hillside overlooking Sandy Hook Bay, which means nearly every street has a Manhattan-skyline view. The Seastreak ferry from Atlantic Highlands Municipal Marina gets to Wall Street in 35 minutes — faster than any New Jersey rail option.

Homes here are restored Victorian and Craftsman hillside mansions with broad front porches, plus newer construction on the elevated streets. Median sits near $650K on the inland streets and $1.5M+ for bay-view and Manhattan-view properties. The Henry Hudson Regional High School district serves here.

Mirtha represents the Manhattan commuter who wants the ferry lifestyle, the bayfront second-home buyer, and the growing arts-and-dining crowd that has made First Avenue one of the most interesting restaurant streets in Monmouth County.
