Coastal suburb close to shopping, recreation
Located along the Jersey Shore, Berkeley Township features coastal suburban living with convenient interstate access. “I love being here,” says Sheryl Paglione, a Realtor with RE/MAX Revolution, and a Berkeley resident who's been selling homes here for nearly five years. “I can hop in my car and go to the beaches, take a stroll on the boardwalk anytime I want and I can get to Long Beach Island in half an hour.” Popular chain and local businesses are spread throughout town, and the neighborhood’s west end holds the starting point for South Jersey’s seemingly endless pinelands. On top of its own amenities, residents are also just miles from nightlife in downtown Toms River and Seaside Heights.

Pirate-themed playground at John C. Bartlett
In the southern end of town, the 25-acre John C. Bartlett, Jr. County Park at Berkeley Island was rebuilt in 2018 after sustaining damage from Hurricane Sandy. Locals can kayak in the bay, kids can run around the pirate-themed playground and the park has some of the best sunrise views in town. Berkeley Island is also a popular spot for crabbing and fishing for Bluefish and Striped Bass. There's space for picnics near Cedar Creek and Dudley Park offers a sandy court for volleyball. Close to the area’s schools, Veterans Park offers over a dozen sports facilities, a skatepark and the 18-hole Cedar Creek Golf Course. On the western side of Garden State Parkway, Double Trouble State Park has over 8 miles of trails through pinelands. Public beach access in the area is limited, but Seaside Heights’ 2.5-mile boardwalk is just across the bay.

Residents can also drive 55 miles west on State Route 37 to get to Philadelphia. “Proximity to highways that will take you in every direction coupled with the ocean breeze makes this neighborhood a highly sought-after place to call home,” says Kimberly Bell, a Realtor at RE/MAX Revolution, and a local resident who’s been selling homes here since 2000.
