Surf City NJ Real Estate on Long Beach Island NJ

Surf City on LBI NJ is located roughly in the middle of Long Beach Island between North Beach to the north and Ship Bottom to the south. The area used to be known as “Great Swap” during the 19th Century for the large areas of natural vegetation surrounding a fresh water lake. When a strong hurricane flooded the fresh water lake with sea water, the original name lost most of its meaning. Today, Surf City offers visitors nice residential areas coupled with a bustling commercial area along Long Beach Blvd. There are many stores, restaurants and mini-golf courses in Surf City to help make the area appealing to those seeking some more activity on their vacation. Surf City was the first town on Long Beach Island NJ to receive federally aided beach replenishment and therefore has some of the widest beaches on LBI. It is important to note that dogs are not allowed on the beach ANY time of year which stands in stark contrast to other towns that allows dogs on the beaches of LBI in the off-season.

Surf City Real Estate on Long Beach Island NJ

Surf City has two very different areas in terms of real estate valuation. The northern end of Surf City is generally less commercial and has larger lots whereas the southern end of Surf City is more commercially developed and busier in the summer season. The northern end of Surf City tends to carry a higher property value when compared to the southern end. The southern end of Surf City is closer to the main causeway on and off Long Beach Island which can be a draw for buyers. It is important to keep in mind the following:

  • Location Matters: Depending on what your intended use is, you may want to avoid the busier areas and stick to the more residential sections of Surf City NJ
  • Surf City is Wide!: Surf City is one of the widest parts of Long Beach Island so it is important to keep in mind the distance to the beach (or the bay) during the summer months on LBI.
  • Surf City Rentals: Surf City is a popular summer rental location with many homes renting weekly or seasonally.

Surf City NJ has much to offer summer guests. Commercial and residential real estate blend well in Surf City to create a wonderful summer environment. Property values tend to be affordable with many small Cape Cods offering a good starting point in the LBI real estate market. Surf City showed great strength during Hurricane Sandy partly due to the replenished beaches and partly due to the natural width of the area. Generally speaking, homes on Barnegat Ave and west were flooded which is a small percentage of the area.
