THE ULTIMATE LBI BUYER’S GUIDE
Everything You Need to Know About Buying a Home on Long Beach Island
Oceanside Homes on LBI
Oceanside homes are located east of Long Beach Blvd, but there will still be a minor street to cross between the house and the beach access. For most of LBI, the roads to cross are either Beach Ave. or Atlantic Ave., both of which are two-lane roads with a lower speed limit. There are parts of LBI with no oceanside homes, such as Surf City, Ship Bottom, North Beach, Loveladies, and parts of South Beach Haven. These areas have only oceanblock and oceanfront homes east of Long Beach Blvd. Some areas of LBI have more than one oceanside location and have two streets to cross before reaching the oceanblock. These wider oceanside areas will see significant variation in home pricing as the walk to the beach is longer for some oceanside homes, and homes closer to the beach may have a view.
