11 · MONMOUTH COUNTY, NEW JERSEY

Eatontown On the Corridor.

Seven square miles anchoring the county's retail spine — with a residential character Mirtha represents in the $500K to $1M range.

THE OVERVIEW

Commercial Hub, Residential Quietude.

Where the Monmouth Mall redevelopment meets the Fort Monmouth Mews — one of the county's most interesting entry-level and first-time-buyer markets.

Eatontown is Monmouth County's commercial heart. The Monmouth Mall (currently being redeveloped into a mixed-use town center), the redeveloped Fort Monmouth parade grounds, Route 35 retail, and the Monmouth Park-adjacent industrial corridor all funnel through this borough. That commercial density funds strong schools and a surprisingly quiet residential base.

Residential Eatontown sits in the $450K to $900K range, depending on proximity to the NJ Transit station and the Fort Monmouth redevelopment. The newest construction is the Mews at Fort Monmouth, adding $600K to $900K townhomes and condos to a previously single-family-only market.

Mirtha represents the first-time buyer, the investor looking at mixed-use on the Route 35 corridor, and the bilingual buyer arriving from Newark, Jersey City, or the Bronx who wants a more affordable entry into the Monmouth County shore.

What You'll Find Here.

Monmouth Mall Redevelopment

The regional mall being reimagined as a mixed-use town center with residential, dining, and open-air retail — Eatontown's biggest structural change in a generation.

Fort Monmouth Mews

The new-construction townhome and condo community on the old Army post parade grounds — adding fresh inventory to a historically single-family market.

Route 35 Retail

The county's commercial spine — big-box retail, Latin American supermarkets, family restaurants, and the everyday commerce that funds Eatontown's schools.

Monmouth Park Adjacent

Eatontown's eastern edge touches Oceanport and the racetrack — a summer-season accelerator for the borough's dining and rental scenes.

NJ Transit Long Branch Line

Nearby North Jersey Coast Line stops at Long Branch and Little Silver — a 70-minute commute to Penn Station from a market priced well below peninsula neighbors.

Monmouth Regional High School

The public high school serving Eatontown, Tinton Falls, and a portion of the Fort Monmouth redevelopment — a diverse, regional public-school anchor.

Wampum Brook Park

The borough's quiet green space — walking paths, a playground, and the residential counterweight to Route 35's commercial density.

Growing Hispanic Community

Eatontown has one of the fastest-growing Latin American communities in the county — bilingual retail, churches, and a natural fit for Mirtha's practice.
