Small and vibrant borough with good walkability
Red Bank sits on the scenic Navesink River, just 15 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean and popular beaches. There are no in-town beaches, but Red Bank is a destination for its trendy walkable town and lively cultural scene.
River Giberson, an experienced agent who owns C21 Thomson & Co., moved here in 2014. “I wanted a slower pace but still be close to NYC, he shares. “I also wanted great restaurants, shopping and walkability.” His clients move here for the same reasons. “I’ve seen a huge influx of young professionals from Manhattan, Brooklyn, Jersey City and Hoboken since the pandemic started,” he adds, noting that the town’s proximity to beaches is another draw.
Red Bank is a coastal borough lining Navesink and Shrewsbury Rivers.
Anytime of year is perfect for relaxing by the river in Red Bank and taking it all in.
