North Middletown offers coastal charm and commuter ease
The heavily residential community of North Middletown sits along the Jersey Shore, providing residents with the luxury of living minutes from the beach and easy access to New York City right across the water.
There are not many beaches out there like Ideal Beach in North Middletown, to say the least.
The beachfront of North Middletown offers scenic views of New York City in the distance.

Wide range of housing and prices near commuting lines
Residents are ultimately drawn to the area because of the feasible public transportation into New York City, whether you travel by ferry, bus or train. Waking up to views of the Manhattan skyline and Sandy Hook Bay are added bonuses. Lisa English, a broker associate at O’Brien Realty - English Properties Team, says the area's price point is attractive for new residents. "In North Middletown, you can get homes for under $400,000." Vacant lots range from around $200,000 to $300,000 for homes near the water, while single-family homes start in the high $200,000s and can reach nearly $700,000 for new construction. Beachfront homes tend to go for around $750,000.
Stone-based homes can be found throughout North Middletown.
Beachfront homes on Ideal Beach offer bay breezes and a relaxed way of life.

Local beach access, parks and wooded walking paths
It's ideal to live within minutes of the beach, right? North Middletown takes it literally, given its neighborhood spot is called Ideal Beach. Locals say Ideal Beach is relaxing and secluded with beautiful views of the Manhattan skyline and is an excellent alternative to Sandy Hook during busy beach days. Meet up with friends for a pickup game at McMahon Park courts. Or, play tennis as children romp around on the playground. A portion of the Henry Hudson Trail runs through North Middletown. Walk along this relatively flat trail as it meanders through trees, near wetlands and streams.
Ideal Beach in North Middletown is a popular place for dog-walkers and bird-watchers.
McMahon Park offers North Middletown residents space and recreational amenities.

Public school district offers college credit and specialty tracks
Local kids can attend the Middletown Township Public School District, which Niche describes as an above-average school system, ranking it in the top 20 best New Jersey school districts for athletes and in the top 100 New Jersey school districts with the best teachers. The district divides its students among 11 elementary schools, like Ocean Avenue Elementary, before sending them to three middle schools, such as Thorne Middle, and then finally to two high schools. At Middletown High School North, students can earn an associate’s degree from Brookdale Community College while earning their 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.
Ocean Avenue Elementary is one of the public elementary options in North Middletown.
Thorne Middle School is one of three middle schools available to local students, and receives a B grade on Niche.

Historic buildings house popular restaurants and cafés
Being a heavily residential community, you will venture into the greater township area to grab a bite. 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 in some favorites from Restaurant Nicholas and new items. 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. When in the mood for a sweet treat, head to Polar Bear Ice Cream for handmade ice cream. Enjoy a bagel with shmear or a loaded breakfast sandwich at Gem's House of Bagels.
North Middletown residents enjoy restaurants like Nicolas Barrel and Roost for a fun meal.
A family favorite in North Middletown is Polar Bear Ice Cream located on Rt 36.
