Keyport is an accessible bayside borough with small-town charm
Located at the northern edge of the Jersey Shore, the small borough of Keyport prides itself as the “Gateway to the Bayshore,” a phrase once proudly emblazoned on the town’s prominent water tower. Sitting at the junction of Routes 36 and 35 with the Garden State Parkway, Keyport is just as much a gateway to North Jersey as New York City. In addition to its convenient location along major transportation routes, it offers stunning views of the Big Apple from its waterfront park. Beyond these amenities, Keyport is home to hundreds of suburban homes and around a dozen shops and restaurants, giving this community a charming small-town feel.
The iconic Keyport water tower reflects the town’s pride as the Gateway to the Bayshore.
Waterfront Park in Keyport offers views of the NYC skyline across Raritan Bay.

Industrial roots shape the historic community's identity
Keyport is one of the oldest towns on the Jersey Shore. While it was formally incorporated in 1870, the borough started as farmland in the early 1700s and evolved into a shipping and oystering hub during the early 1900s. Keyport’s industrial nature has impacted the town’s appearance, housing styles and even demographics; a section of this town is still devoted to trades such as metal fabrication, contracting, and welding. Keyport is notably the birthplace of the “Lazy Susan” rotating table, arguably the former industrial hub’s greatest achievement.
Keyport’s beachside paths and bike-friendly streets make it easy to explore the town.
Downtown Keyport features murals by local artists that celebrate the town’s maritime heritage.

Colonial homes and condos offer shoreline and skyline views
Keyport’s home styles reflect the town’s story, with a combination of colonial residences and large apartment and condominium buildings making up most of the housing stock. Local Realtor Harry Arnold shares, “Its condos are relatively new, built 10 to 15 years ago."These buildings, and several smaller homes, offer commanding views of the Bayshore and the New York skyline. Keyport has a median home price of $390,000, well below the state median of $500,000, making Keyport a relatively affordable town within the New York metropolitan area.
Historic colonial homes from the 1800s line many streets in Keyport’s older neighborhoods.
Newer homes with manicured lawns are found throughout residential neighborhoods in Keyport.
The Keyport Fishery, a long-standing fixture of the community, offers fresh seafood from the Raritan Bay for customers. “If you’re within 100 miles, come here and get some seafood. They prepare fish, shrimp and scallops simply by running it and frying it,” Arnold says. The cash-only establishment sits along West Front Street in the town’s downtown area.

Fishing Pier and Waterfront Park blend maritime and family recreation
Another way to experience Keyport’s maritime history is to go fishing at the Keyport Fishing Pier, which includes cleaning tables for the cutting of bait or the preparation of newly caught fish. The pier is located next to the scenic Keyport Waterfront Park, a popular outdoor venue with a gazebo, bayside walking trails and impressive New York vistas. At the eastern end of the park, a small beach and playground are available for outdoor recreation.
