Little Silver is a quiet suburb on the Shrewsbury River

Over the centuries, Little Silver has slipped into and out of purposes like jackets, adapting to changing times instead of weather. At different times in its life, it's been a resort, agricultural area and fishing town before finally reaching its current phase as a largely residential neighborhood known for its highly rated schools. Just 2 miles from Shrewsbury itself, the borough's position along the Shrewsbury River and the streams and creeks that branch off it draw people who want to experience life on the water.

Boating and kayaking on the Shrewsbury River, a community garden

Water is at the center of life in Little Silver, and residents enjoy going out boating, fishing, kayaking and more whenever they have the chance. Dominick F. Santelle Park and Boat Launch offers residents a place to launch their boats and kayaks in addition to basketball and tennis courts and a playground when they’re ready to enjoy activities on dry land or let their kids burn off some energy. A little more inland, Parker Sickles Park offers a baseball field, soccer fields and playground across from a large community garden. For sun-soaked days on sandy beaches, Sandy Hook Beach is just 9 miles away.

Residents can also spend time learning about their neighborhood’s history by visiting or volunteering to help preserve the Parker Homestead, a restored house turned museum that was likely built in 1721 on a slot of land that belonged to the Parker family from 1665 to 1996 — meaning that it has stood far longer than the borough has even existed.

Inland houses start at $700,000, waterfront homes cost over $1 million

Cape Cods, split-levels and New Traditionals with large, tree-shaded yards have replaced the neighborhood’s farms, and grand, enormous colonials and New Traditionals line its abundant waterways. Inland houses cost between $700,000 and $3 million. Waterfront homes don't go for sale as often; just two sold in 2025, one for $2.9 million and the other for $5.2 million. A small cluster of townhouses near the train station typically cost between $550,000 and $720,000, but townhouses in the high-end Alderbrook development can sell for over $1 million.

Colonial style homes grace the landscape, infusing elegance and tradition into the community.
