Walking, shopping and dining from the beach to Atlantic Avenue
From out on the Atlantic Ocean, Downtown Atlantic City is defined by an illuminated skyline, the flashing spokes of the Steel Pier Ferris Wheel blending with the glow of casino marquees. Walking along the Atlantic City Boardwalk or Atlantic and Pacific avenues, locals and tourists alike get closer to the restaurants, commercial strips and entertainment venues that set the city apart from other coastal enclaves. “There’s a lot of things going on in Downtown Atlantic City – there's everything in the beach block, the Orange Loop development, we have investors from Asbury Park coming in,” says Todd Gordon, a broker sales associate at the Hartman Home Team and Berkshire Hathaway Fox and Roach Real Estate with 23 years of experience in Atlantic City. “People get to live where they can walk to everything.” With beachfront access to many of the city’s ever-adapting events and entertainment venues, Downtown Atlantic City’s amenities and attractions shift as often as the tides.

Boardwalks, beaches and Atlantic City pocket parks
Atlantic City’s beaches are the star of the show in Downtown Atlantic City, open to the public year-round and lacking the additional cost of an annual beach pass typical of many other New Jersey beaches. While beachgoers lounge in the sun, go for a swim and walk along the shoreline, cyclists traverse the bumpy-smooth stretches of the Atlantic City Boardwalk up past the grass-spotted dunes. Anglers may try their luck out on rocky jetties further north toward Uptown. Just off the boardwalk, Brighton Park is a tree-shaded pocket park decorated with benches and a central fountain. The Civil Rights Garden is a block over, combining well-maintained landscaping and shady Gingko trees with granite pillars and sculptures commemorating the activists and moments central to the Civil Rights era.
Downtown Atlantic City is alive with coastal city life.

Shopping and dining on the Orange Loop, Atlantic Avenue
The Orange Loop, a three-block stretch off the boardwalk, has become a point of pride for residents and Downtown developers. “If you venture to Tennessee Avenue, in the last three years they’ve been introducing a neighborhood vibe on the beach block,” Gordon says. “Restaurants, the outdoor Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall, a chocolate bar – cool things that you would never know existed in Atlantic City.” Around the corner, reservations to enjoy soul food and live music at Kelsey’s are a must, as lines wrap around the block during peak hours. Heading down Atlantic Avenue, shoppers pass preserved historic commercial buildings and newer developments housing global eateries and small businesses, Save A Lot and the AtlantiCare HealthPlex on the way to the dozens of retailers making up the Tanger Outlets. Several churches hold services throughout the neighborhood, including St. Nicholas of Tolentine Church which was built in 1905 and fills the sanctuary with the music of a restored antique pipe organ. Downtown Atlantic City has a CAP Index crime score of 6 out of 10 compared to the national average of 4.
The Orange Loop business district covers three beach blocks in Atlantic City.

Welcome to Downtown Atlantic City.
Atlantic City Airshow
Teams of pilots and individual performers fly in tight formations and soar above massive crowds for two days at the Atlantic City Airshow each August. “People fill the beaches from the Steel Pier to Lower Chelsea. Thousands and thousands of people come,” Gordon says. Ticketholders can opt for more exclusive venues and a different angle on the action at places like The Vue, a bar at the top of the Claridge Hotel. Shows and more regular entertainment venues run throughout the year, including the amusement park attractions at Steel Pier and daily live shows at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
Rowhouses from $100,000
Dominated as it is by commercial districts and beach block businesses, Downtown Atlantic City has fewer residential areas and housing options than other neighborhoods around the island. Scattered rowhouses built in the early 1900s are the primary home style, standing flush to the sidewalk and selling for $100,000 to $425,000 depending on renovation levels and potential to rent out additional living space. Oceanfront condos tower above the skyline, units selling for $150,000 to $320,000 depending on square footage and height above the waves. Nearly all Downtown Atlantic City residents rent rather than own their homes.
