A tiny community near the Jersey Shore
When new residents move to Interlaken, Bob Waitt often gets a call. As Interlaken’s historian, Waitt is the one whom new homeowners reach out to with questions about the history of their new purchases. “I get a lot of calls from people when they first move in,” Waitt says. “I can tell them when it was built, who lived there and who passed away there.” An upscale New Jersey community with about 800 residents, folks are quick to get acquainted in Interlaken. It shares its name with a Swiss vacation town, but this community doesn’t see many tourists. Instead, it’s a place where residents escape the fray of the nearby Jersey Shore and live among an array of well-maintained, high-dollar homes.
Colonial, ranch and four square homes are common in Interlaken.

Boating and skating on Deal Lake
Like its Swiss counterpart, Interlaken is situated between two lakes. Boaters and anglers set out on Deal Lake from private residential docks or Deal Lake Boat Ramp, across the lake from Interlaken in Asbury Park. When the temperature drops, locals slip on skates and glide across the frozen surface. Locals can play tennis or softball at Interlaken Park, as well as utilize the shaded playground. It’s roughly a mile to the beaches in Loch Arbour and Asbury Park, and Waitt says he doesn’t worry about parking when heading to the coast. “I can walk from my house to the ocean.” Visitors to Asbury Park can pop into Silverball Retro Arcade, where players smash buttons on pinball machines and arcade games that date back to the ‘50s.
