Single Family Homes on Long Beach Island NJ

The first wave of single family home development took place in the late 1890's through the 1920's. Many of these now historic homes are found in Beach Haven and are subject to approval before demolition or exterior renovation is permitted. These homes will sell in the low $800,000 to over $3,000,000 on the oceanside and about $500,000-$1,000,000 on the bayside. During the early stages of development in the Long Beach Island real estate market, vacationers built large Victorian style beach houses, many of which can still be seen in Beach Haven's historic district to this day. Many of these homes have since been converted into Bed & Breakfast properties and are popular vacation destinations on LBI NJ.

During the 1950's and 1960's Long Beach Island New Jersey saw major tracts of land developed by the Shapiro family among others. The house most common during this phase of development was the Cape Cod and many of these properties still line the streets today. They have proven to be excellent beach houses over the years and are still popular among buyers in the LBI real estate market. Despite their smaller size when compared to most new construction, these traditional beach houses still make wonderful beach homes. Many Cape Cods weathered Hurricane Sandy with little or no damaged depending on their location. Even with the new laws regarding flood insurance on Long Beach Island, many of these Cape Cods still offer competitive rates.

Today, the raised contemporary  is most common among Single Family Homes on Long Beach Island NJ. These properties are built on pilings, typically with garage parking under the house and a "reversed living" floor plan with the kitchen and living areas on the top floor to take advantage of views. These homes are built to the current specifications of building codes so they withstood Hurricane Sandy very well.
