About Red Bank, NJ
Red Bank is Monmouth County's downtown — the walkable riverfront borough of Broad Street boutiques, restaurants, and galleries along the Navesink River. It's the Shore's cultural center: the Count Basie Center for the Arts anchors a year-round calendar of concerts and shows, and the riverfront (Riverside Gardens Park and Marine Park) gives the downtown a postcard backdrop. For NYC families, Red Bank is the complete package: an actual downtown you can live in, not just commute from. Housing ranges from Navesink riverfront estates and historic homes west of town to condos and apartments steps from Broad Street, plus solid suburban neighborhoods to the east and north. The train station is in the heart of town, making this one of the Shore's best commuter locations. Fair Haven, Rumson, and Little Silver sit just across the river; Oceanport and the beaches are minutes east.
