10 · MONMOUTH COUNTY, NEW JERSEY
Oakhurst Under the Canopy.
A neighborhood within Ocean Township — tree-canopied, residential, a ten-minute drive from the boardwalk.
THE OVERVIEW
The Wooded Side of the Shore.
Where younger families from Brooklyn and Jersey City arrive for the yard, the schools, and the ten-minute drive to the Atlantic Ocean.
Oakhurst is the inland, woody half of Ocean Township. Streets like West Park Avenue, Roseld, and Norwood Drive are lined with restored Tudor Revivals, Dutch Colonials, and mid-century Ranches on quarter- to half-acre wooded lots. The original Jewish and Italian communities who built out this area in the 1940s-1960s have given way to younger families — many arriving from Brooklyn, Jersey City, and Manhattan for the yard and the schools.
Median sits near $750K. The Ocean Township School District is strong, and Oakhurst's proximity to Route 35 (seven minutes) and the Asbury Park station (nine minutes) makes it a realistic option for NYC commuters who aren't ready for the Rumson price tag.
Mirtha represents the inland-shore buyer — someone who wants the atmosphere of the Jersey Shore region without being on the ocean, and the diverse Hispanic community that has grown quickly in the last decade.
