About Neptune Township, NJ

Neptune Township is a large township surrounding Neptune City and best known as the home of Ocean Grove, the historic Methodist camp-meeting town with its Great Auditorium and dense streets of ornate Victorian cottages. It is a distinct municipality from Neptune City — the township wraps around the much smaller borough and extends to Shark River to the south and the Shark River–Hills / mid-township neighborhoods to the west. The township offers more variety than its name suggests: the Victorian architecture and dry-beach culture of Ocean Grove, the lakeside streets of Shark River Hills, Bradley Park and the Fletcher Lake area bordering Asbury Park, and commercial corridors along Routes 35 and 66. Asbury Park's downtown, beaches, and boardwalk sit directly on the township's northeastern edge, so residents effectively share its dining and music scene while paying township taxes. Housing ranges from Ocean Grove Victorians and Shark River waterfront homes to modest cape cods inland.
