About Spring Lake, NJ

Spring Lake is the Shore's storybook town — the "Jewel of the Jersey Shore." The namesake lake sits at its heart, ringed by Divine Park and East Lake Avenue; to the east, a two-mile beachfront with one of the longest boardwalks on the coast; and between them, streets of meticulously kept historic cottages, grand inns, and shingle-style homes. Third Avenue is the charming downtown strip of shops and restaurants. The town's resort-era bones are everywhere: the Audienried, Maloney, and other landmark cottages, the historic inns, and the lake-and-ocean pairing that made Spring Lake a Gilded Age destination. Housing is among the Shore's most expensive — grand historic homes, lakefront properties, and beach-block cottages. This is a buy-for-the-lifestyle town: quiet, manicured and unapologetically with Manasquan and Belmar nearby for a livelier scene.
