I know there were some recent threads out there, but I looked and could not find them. So I'm starting one up fresh.www.on3.com
LOL! Should have listened.
Yeah, we were too damn conversative, especially with the little one around. As I mentioned above, we were eyeing a house between 107-117th street on the beach side of 2nd Ave. They were going for $2-3m pre-COVID and by the time the pandemic dust settled they were double and now $6-8m.
Might as well buy in Oahu (likely Ko Olina) for $1-2m and just rent for a month or two in SH for the summers (while keeping our current NJ home). Obviously, this is subject to where life takes our little one.
having a little one would be the perfect reason to buy, having raised our 2 daughters here made them love it that much more. I don't see them ever moving away and we are lucky enough now to have a grandson who lives down the street. I know if we stayed in South Brunswick there would be nothing keeping them in the area. Maybe consider a different town down here instead of the most expensive one in the county if you are that interested, even in Cape May there are still deals to be had. My daughter just purchased a beautiful 3 BR single family in the gardens section of OC for 2.5MM with bay views.
Great post! You hit the nail on the head. We have tried to get out of the very narrow mindset of what we want in SH. We haven't broken through that yet, but you are correct. There are a lot of other wonderful options south of AC on the shoreline. OC is very interesting. Obviously, it rips during the summer season, but it seems to be the only southern shore town large enough that is actually a "real town" year round. Is that true?
Buying the house in Lbi when the kids were 8 and 11 was one of the best decisions we ever made. So many great family memories for those few years. We loved it so much we decided we needed it year round and moved to San Diego. We still go back to Lbi for a week every summer and as they get older I consider extending that to a month or two to catch up with family and friends down there
its very active year round which was one of the reasons we chose it, HS has about 800 kids and primary and middle schools are very good. its quiet enough in the offseason but still busy enough that you don't feel like you are in a ghost town like some other towns. Different parts of town have more year rounders than others, mostly the north and south ends. My old block on the north end was almost 100% year round, where i live now on 36th is about 40% year round.
Let me know if you need a good realtor, I'll send you my daughters contact info, she has access to a lot of pocket listings and is familiar with other towns nearby.
California beaches are pretty
That’s why they’re free
Biggest disappointment of my life
I remember that. Ocean County (away from the water) prices are the ones I find craziest.
For people who say they love our economic system, they can't wrap their heads around supply and demand.
CA (and NJ) are expensive because people want to live there. Demand. Limited supply, because even if all the NIMBYs went away, you have a lot of mountains that cannot be developed out there. NJ we actually have more space then you think, but a lot of it is far from NYC/Philly/the beach.
Alabama and Mississippi are cheap because few people want to live there. Supply. Lots of land, few cities, few jobs, minimal desire.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

The beach in CA much like the beach in NJ is about vibes.
It is fun. There's cool bars and restaurants. You dip in the water but it's not that blue. People have nostalgia.
In the US, if you want to go to the beach to swim, go to PR or USVI (even over Hawaii IMO).
Or better yet, get a passport, and go to Thailand or Spain or Colombia or DR or Egypt.
I was in Maldives 2 years ago. That’s my baseline for great beaches. It’s like being in a dream.
In the U.S., Siesta Key is the best mainland beach I’ve been to. USVI is really nice too.
was in Spain last year, and rented a boat and went around Mallorca. Best experience ever because of no mosquitoes and warm water.
the Pacific Ocean is really cold. That’s something I didn’t realize. You’re right that the vibe is nice, though.
The term “private beach” is oxymoronic. The ocean is public. Everyone has access. Just because you put homes in front, don’t have walkways or signs, walls, gates/locks, secret passwords, tolls, beach passes, sand dunes or a private beach club and no public rest rooms doesn’t make it a “private beach.”
From Maine to Florida, Florida to Texas, California to Washington state, no state restricts access to beaches like New Jersey. Don’t get me started on the quality (I.e. high bacteria concentration) of the water.

I mean California only has 840 miles of coast line. Maybe he thought he was in Sandy Hook.

So a fee to enter a beach is more restrictive than privately owned beaches? Beaches you have access to for very little fee ( season badge amortized over the entire summer is less than $1/day at most beaches) is more restrictive than no access at all?
Similar to people going to Atlantic City and saying “NJ beach are
”The water is frigid everywhere in California. The Pacific Ocean is pretty big.
If you notice it's people of a certain persuasion continuing to pile on, making it political..
Sadly, with the moderation here, it's fine as they allow their personal opinions dictate how they do their job.
I have great memories of our times at South Padre Island.
Looks like Pratt is getting the old late night ballot count squeeze. Raheem catching him from 8 points down to 3. This will be interesting if she actually passes him. Do folks riot?
Yes but bear in mind that California has over six New Jersey’s worth of coastline.Similar to people going to Atlantic City and saying “NJ beach are
