Located in Monmouth County
Leonardo, which sits along Sandy Hook Bay with the Manhattan skyline in the near distance, is a primarily residential Jersey Shore community.
Lisa English, a broker associate at O’Brien Realty - English Properties Team, says the area's price point is attractive for new residents. "In Leonardo, you can get homes for under $600,000," she says. Homes with three bedrooms and two or three bathrooms tend to fall within the $600,000 range or even less, while larger homes start to rise in cost. For homes by the water, including newly built ones, be prepared to spend upward of $1.5 million.
For a serene beach day any time of year, walk over to Leonardo Beach. Spend your day reading by the water or catching a tan. In Leonardo Bay, you can charter a boat for fishing and launch from the Leonardo State Marina. After the beach, shoot hoops or run around the playground at Bill Kunkel Memorial Park. A portion of the Henry Hudson Trail runs through Leonardo. Walk along this relatively flat trail as it meanders through trees, near wetlands and streams. Or, take the path to nearby Atlantic Highlands for nightlife and restaurants, says English.
Start your day with a cup of joe from Jersey Coffee Roasters. Or if coffee isn't your breakfast drink of choice, enjoy a cup of tea or matcha. At Pizzeria De Leonardo, dive into a classic pie or step outside the box and try a chicken marsala, taco salad or stuffed vegetable pie. Head into the greater township area to try out even more beloved local spots. One such place is Barrel & Roost. From the minds behind Restaurant Nicholas (which Zagat ranked as the highest-rated restaurant in New Jersey for 15 years in a row) comes Barrel & Roost in the same space. The white tablecloths are gone in this modern farmhouse interior, where neighbors like to meet for dinner and drinks. The menu here mixes some favorites from Restaurant Nicholas among its creations. Locals also flock to Big Mike's Little Red Store, a breakfast-and-lunch spot in a former 1860s general store, where you can enjoy breakfast classics and deli sandwiches crafted by a former chef from Restaurant Nicholas.
Middletown Township Public School District serves the area and earns an A-minus from Niche. Leonardo Elementary gets a B-plus. Bayshore Middle also receives a B-plus. Middletown High School North earns a B-plus, too and students can earn an associate's degree from Brookdale Community College while earning a high school diploma. High school students can also apply to one of Monmouth County's five specialty high schools focusing on communications, health sciences, biotechnology, marine science and engineering.
Living in Leonardo means "you can get to New York City very quickly," English says. So whether you need to commute into the city daily or want a night out on the town, you can get there from Leonardo without sacrificing spacious beach living.
