Oceanfront living in the heart of Long Branch's West End

The Anchorage Condominiums, a 9-story residential tower completed in 1972, stands as a prominent fixture along the Long Branch boardwalk. Housing 103 units, this oceanfront property offers residents a coveted address in the vibrant West End neighborhood. The building's simple, modern design features balconies on each floor, providing residents with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and easy access to the beach below.

Versatile layouts with breathtaking ocean vistas

The Anchorage offers a range of floor plans to suit various lifestyles, from cozy studios to spacious two-bedroom residences. Studios, starting at approximately 500 square feet, provide an efficient living space with one bathroom. One-bedroom units range from 666 to 921 square feet, also featuring one bathroom, with sale prices ranging from $440,000 to $749,399. For those seeking more space, two-bedroom units span 696 to 1,269 square feet, offering one to two bathrooms, and are priced between $749,399 and $999,000. Many units have been thoughtfully renovated, boasting modern finishes that complement the coastal setting. Kitchens often feature stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and glass tile backsplashes. Bathrooms have been updated with contemporary fixtures and finishes. Throughout the units, durable manufactured flooring and fresh, modern paint colors create a bright and airy atmosphere. Perhaps the most striking feature of these residences is the abundance of natural light and unobstructed ocean views. Expansive windows and private balconies or terraces allow residents to fully appreciate the coastal panorama, with some units offering views from every room. Select penthouses on the top floor provide even more impressive vistas, with some featuring nearly 60-foot-long private balconies. Monthly HOA fees range from $500 to $1,000, covering a comprehensive list of services including trash removal, common area maintenance, exterior upkeep, fire and liability insurance, lawn care, management fees, pool maintenance, sewer services, and snow removal.

Resort-inspired amenities with a focus on oceanfront living

The Anchorage Condominiums offers an array of amenities designed to enhance the coastal lifestyle. The centerpiece is undoubtedly the oceanfront pool, providing a refreshing alternative to the beach just steps away. Adjacent to the pool, residents can enjoy a spacious clubhouse complete with a full kitchen and pool table, perfect for entertaining or community gatherings. For those looking to maintain their fitness routines, the building features a well-equipped fitness center and a newly added sauna for post-workout relaxation. The luxurious lobby sets the tone for the building, offering a welcoming space for residents and guests alike. Practical amenities include assigned parking for residents and ample visitor parking, ensuring convenience for both homeowners and their guests. Each unit comes with additional storage space, and there's even dedicated bike storage for cycling enthusiasts. Security and peace of mind are prioritized with restricted access to the building. The Anchorage also benefits from on-site management three days a week and a seven-day-a-week superintendent, ensuring prompt attention to any resident needs or building maintenance issues. Laundry rooms are conveniently located on each floor, and the building's pet-friendly policy allows residents to share their homes with their furry companions.

A vibrant coastal community with year-round appeal

The Anchorage Condominiums is situated in the heart of Long Branch's West End neighborhood, a coastal community that thrives year-round. Unlike some Jersey Shore towns that become quiet in the off-season, West End maintains its energy thanks to the presence of Monmouth University and a diverse mix of residents. The building's location on the Long Branch boardwalk provides immediate access to the wide, sandy beaches that define the Jersey Shore experience. Just a short walk away, Pier Village offers high-end shopping and dining options. Notable restaurants in the area include Salt Steakhouse, known for its upscale dining experience, and Sirena Ristorante, which offers classic Italian dishes with ocean views. For those seeking outdoor recreation beyond the beach, West End Park is a mere five-minute walk from the Anchorage. This local green space provides a pleasant area for relaxation or light exercise. The West End Avenue shopping district, located within walking distance, offers a variety of retail options and eateries. Here, residents can find everything from essential groceries to unique local boutiques. The area is also home to a growing number of Latin American and kosher restaurants, reflecting the diverse community. Throughout the year, the neighborhood hosts various events that bring the community together. In August, the annual West End Cruise Night and Classic Car Show transforms Brighton Avenue into a showcase of vintage automobiles. The summer months also bring concerts and festivals to Long Branch Beach, including Oceanfest, New Jersey's largest Independence Day celebration.

Convenient access to NYC with a car-optional lifestyle

While the Anchorage Condominiums' location encourages a walkable lifestyle, it also offers convenient transportation options for those looking to explore beyond Long Branch. The Long Branch train station, served by NJ Transit's North Jersey Coast Line, is about a mile away. This line provides direct service to Newark in approximately an hour, with connections to New York City adding just 30 minutes to the journey. For those who prefer to drive, the Garden State Parkway is easily accessible, located about 5 miles west of the property. This major highway runs the length of the Jersey Shore, connecting Long Branch to both northern New Jersey and points south along the coast. Within the neighborhood, the layout supports both walking and cycling for many daily needs. The proximity to the boardwalk, beaches, and local shopping districts means that many errands and leisure activities can be accomplished without the need for a car. For residents who do drive, the Anchorage provides the convenience of assigned parking spaces, eliminating the stress of finding parking in a busy beach town. Additionally, the availability of visitor parking ensures that guests can easily access the building, a valuable feature in an area that can become congested during peak seasons.
