Loch Arbour offers coastal living along the Jersey Shore
Between the small beach town of Allenhurst and the cultural hub of Asbury Park sits the close-knit, desirable village of Loch Arbour. What this community lacks in size is made up for by its wealth of large family homes and beachside condominiums, its local restaurants, and its immediate access to the Jersey Shore, contributing to the great demand for housing in this seaside locale.

Summer resort turned year-round suburb with million-dollar price tag
Loch Arbour, named for a region of the Scottish Highlands, is a recent creation, splitting off from Ocean Township with the last of that community’s beachfront in 1957. Loch Arbour’s origins lay in the boom of Jersey Shore condominiums after World War II, when the region became a popular summer resort for New York and Philadelphia residents. While less than .13 square miles in size, Loch Arbour has a mixed feeling to it. Realtor Jenna Cavadas of eXp Realty says that, “It’s a great little town, and it offers the best of all worlds. It’s close to the water, so you’ll see higher prices in that area. You’ll have a suburban feel, and there is a park in the area.” With the Interlaken Aboretum at one end and Loch Arbour Beach at the other, Loch Arbour combines the feel of a typical Jersey Shore town with that of an upmarket suburb. Its homes vary from vast condominiums to spacious colonial-style family homes of both the Dutch and Anglo-American varieties. These homes vary in price from $2 to $4 million, reflecting the desirability of these shorefront properties.

People enjoy beach days and strolls down Asbury Park’s boardwalk
Among Loch Arbour’s most popular features is its beach, which offers the quiet serenity of beachside breezes for inexpensive day passes. While relaxing here or pacing the surf, it can be hard to believe that the hustle and bustle of Asbury Park’s boardwalk is just around the corner, and it is easy to enjoy a summer afternoon here with the help of a snack stand serving French fries, lemonade, and other beach favorites.
