Coastal suburb with plenty of parks and restaurants
On the Jersey Shore at the northern tip of Barnegat Bay sits Brick Township, a coastal suburb with a mix of home prices to fit any budget. What started as a farming and sawmill town in the mid-1700s transformed into a summer vacation destination after its incorporation in 1850. It continued to be a rural resort area until major residential and commercial growth occurred after the opening of the Garden State Parkway in 1950. While the township's proximity to the water is a big draw in the summer months, Brick has plenty going on year-round for residents between its parks, restaurants and community events. "The whole Jersey Shore has become more year-round than it used to be," says Laura Parios-McBride, a sales associate with O'Brien Realty and a Jersey Shore resident. "People appreciate the beauty whether it is summer or winter."
Some neighborhoods in Brick Township have direct access to the Atlantic Ocean.

Themed playground at Windward Beach Park
Three beaches and a dozen community parks are dotted throughout Brick Township. “I love that I can get on my bike and ride to the beach and inlet,” says Gina Corbisiero, a Broker/Salesperson for Century 21/Solid Gold Realty, who’s lived in the area for over 50 years. Windward Beach Park has a wilderness-themed playground and green space that complements its sandy beach along the Metedeconk River. Boaters can park at one of the nearby marinas and be out on Barnegat Bay in minutes. Locals can walk the 1.5-mile path at Brick Reservoir, located in the north end of the neighborhood. The Drum Point Sports Complex hosts local sports leagues with over a dozen facilities and features a skate park. Golfers can visit the Ocean County Golf Course at Forge Pond, a public 18-hole course. For indoor recreation, The Ice Palace holds figure skating and ice hockey rinks.

Waterfront homes range from $1 million to $2 million

Waterfront properties typically range from $1 million to $2 million, while a handful of homes cost between $3 million and $6 million.

There are also smaller options, like Cape Cods and ranch-style homes, that go for $300,000 to $600,000. No matter the style, all feature manicured front lawns with grass or white pebbles, a typical design found in Jersey Shore neighborhoods.
