THE ULTIMATE LBI BUYER’S GUIDE

Harvey Cedars NJ

Harvey Cedars, located on the north end of Long Beach Island NJ between Loveladies and North Beach, offers visitors wide beaches and a family atmosphere. The name “Harvey Cedars” most likely comes from a shortening of the term “harvest cedars” which pays homage to the large groves of naturally growing cedar trees in the area. Also referred to as High Point, Harvey Cedars has the most commercial development on the North end of Long Beach Island. Here you will find some small markets, restaurants, and ice cream parlors. Harvey Cedars also was the second town on Long Beach Island NJ to have beach replenishment completed giving it some of the widest beaches on Long Beach Island and excellent protection from storms.

Harvey Cedars Real Estate on LBI NJ

The Harvey Cedars real estate market is comprised mostly of single-family homes with a few duplexes and a condo or two.

There are many historic homes in Harvey Cedars, including one of the two Life Saving Service stations (the forerunner to the modern day Coast Guard) which is currently used as a fishing club. Lot sizes vary with some large lots and some very small lots. If you are considering buying Harvey Cedars NJ Real Estate, it is important to keep in mind:

• Location- Harvey Cedars, in a way, offers the “best of both worlds” in that there are areas of pure residential development within walking distance to all the commercial attractions of a shore town.

• Beaches-With the larger beaches in Harvey Cedars, some residents feel their investment in shore real estate is more secure due to the large dunes created by the beach replenishment.

• Beach Badges-Being its own town, Harvey Cedars has its own beach badge so if you are near the border of Loveladies or North Beach, you may have to purchase two beach badges depending on the location of friends and family.

Harvey Cedars is a town unique among the other North end areas due to the commercial development. Whereas most towns on the North end of Long Beach Island NJ are mostly residential, Harvey Cedars has a healthy mix of both commercial and residential properties which can make it more appealing to some buyers looking at the Long Beach Island real estate market.
