Blocks of homes, businesses and boardwalk
While ducks no longer nest in little houses along the bay as they did when Italian immigrants set up their homes at the turn of the 20th century, Ducktown retains an identity as a neighborhood where cultures and culinary traditions meet in Atlantic City’s modern day business district. “Ducktown’s next to the commercial district, you’ve got some really nice restaurants out there,” says Gerard Barker, managing broker with the Weichert Realtors Asbury Group who has 15 years of experience in Atlantic City’s market. “Atlantic City has the most affordable coastal real estate no matter what section you look at – a lot of the people buying in Ducktown are investors. The deciding factor is how close you can get to everything and still afford it.” For snowbirds and peckish year-round residents alike, Ducktown retains a reputation for collecting plentiful fledgling and long-time dining locales and Atlantic City’s boardwalk destinations within blocks of each other.

If you’re not in line by 3:45, you’re not getting in the door,” Barker says.
