Explore North End neighborhoods

The North End of Long Beach Island is known for its privacy and luxury estates, but it’s worth noting that there are several charming downtown areas that can easily meet your everyday needs. From How You Brewin’ in Surf City and Barnegat Light to Neptune Market in Harvey Cedars, there’s a go to spot no matter where you are on the island. Some parts of the North End are wider than others, which can impact property values. For example, in Surf City, prices can vary significantly between 3rd Street where the distance from the bay to the ocean is much wider and 20th Street, where the island narrows and is closer to the downtown area.

The North End is also home to many of the island’s lagoonfront homes, which are highly desirable for boaters and bay lovers. These properties offer protection from the open bay and are generally more affordable than true bayfront homes. The value of a lagoonfront property can vary significantly based on factors such as the presence or absence of a view, the condition of the home, the age of the bulkhead, and the property's position along the lagoon.
