06 · MONMOUTH COUNTY, NEW JERSEY

Little Silver A Borough the Size of a Village.

1.9 square miles between Red Bank and Rumson — a commuter-rail stop and some of Monmouth County's quietest streets.

THE OVERVIEW

A Borough the Size of a Village.

The underrated secret of the Rumson-Fair Haven peninsula — same prep-school district, quieter price tag, and the only NJ Transit stop commuters here actually use.

Little Silver is what the Rumson-Fair Haven peninsula narrows into before it meets Red Bank. The NJ Transit station at Church Street is the only North Jersey Coast Line stop most commuters from the Rumson-Fair Haven corridor use — which makes Little Silver an underrated secret for buyers who want the prep-school district without the Rumson price tag.

Homes here are typically 2,000 to 3,500 square feet — restored Dutch Colonials, Cape Cods, American Foursquares — on half-acre to one-acre lots. Median sits near $1.2M. The Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School district (one of the top 15 in New Jersey) serves Little Silver as well, which is the quiet reason the values hold.

Mirtha represents the commuter family that wants Rumson schools at a more accessible entry point, and the bilingual relocator arriving from Manhattan who values being walking distance to the train.

What You'll Find Here.

NJ Transit Little Silver Station

The Church Street stop — walkable from the village center, a 70-minute direct ride to Penn Station, and the commuter anchor of the peninsula.

Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High

One of New Jersey's top-15 public high schools — the shared district for Rumson, Fair Haven, and Little Silver, and the quiet reason values hold.

Parker Creek

A tidal waterway winding through the borough — the source of Little Silver's sycamore-shaded backyards and a handful of deep-water private docks.

Church Street

The village spine — station, post office, a small cluster of shops, and the hand-painted municipal sign that has anchored the borough for generations.

Markham Place School

The borough's K-8 elementary — small, local, and the starting point for most Little Silver families before the regional high school.

Little Silver Center

A two-block village of boutiques, a well-loved deli, and a gathering point for dog-walkers, commuters, and school-drop-off parents.

Red Bank Border

The eastern edge of the borough touches Red Bank's restaurant district — Little Silver residents are minutes from the Count Basie Theatre and riverfront dining.
