14 · MONMOUTH COUNTY, NEW JERSEY

Spring Lake On the Promenade.

A 1.3-square-mile Victorian shore town where the boardwalk is non-commercial and the Essex and Sussex Hotel still defines the skyline.

THE OVERVIEW

The Irish Riviera, Still Standing.

The anti-boardwalk shore town — no T-shirt shops, just Queen Anne Victorians, a non-commercial oceanfront promenade, and the cachet of one of the most iconic Jersey Shore addresses.

Spring Lake is the anti-boardwalk shore town. No T-shirt shops, no ice cream stands on the beach — just a 2.2-mile oceanfront promenade, the Essex and Sussex Hotel (now condo residences), Spring Lake itself in the town center, and restored Queen Anne Victorian mansions that make it look like Cape May's wealthier cousin.

Known as the Irish Riviera for the Irish-Catholic families who built out the town in the late 1800s, Spring Lake is Monmouth County's most consistent $2M+ luxury market. Oceanfront Victorians start at $3M and go to $10M+; inland Queen Annes and Craftsmans run $1.5M to $3M. The Manasquan Regional High School district serves here, and Spring Lake has its own K-8.

Mirtha represents the buyer who wants Victorian character, a quiet beach, and the cachet of one of the most iconic Jersey Shore addresses — plus the international buyer who has heard of Spring Lake from The New York Times travel section.
