Living at the northernmost tip of Absecon Island
The lens atop Absecon Lighthouse flashes over Uptown Atlantic City, the city’s northernmost neighborhood also called the Inlet after the waterway connecting Absecon Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. “Where the bay meets the ocean, the views are just gorgeous,” says Todd Gordon, a broker sales associate at the Hartman Home Team and Berkshire Hathaway Fox and Roach Real Estate with 23 years of experience in Atlantic City. “You can walk to Gardners Basin, go to those restaurants on the bay, rent a jet ski. But there’s also construction sites and vacant land – Uptown's in the middle of seeing a lot of development.” From the top of the Atlantic City Boardwalk to the open lots on the beach block, Uptown Atlantic City is a beacon of the oldest and newest developments making a name for Monopoly City.
Welcome to Uptown Atlantic City, neighborhood home of Absecon Lighthouse.

Recreation around Gardners Basin and the beach
Docks coat the shores of Snug Harbor and Gardners and Delta basins, launching boaters and anglers from private residences and marinas like Barneys Dock and Highroller Fishing. Signs at the corner of Maine and Caspian avenues welcome visitors to the beginning of the Atlantic City Boardwalk, taking bikers and walkers along island-spanning stretches of wide wooden paths. Parking lots and public restrooms in the same area make Absecon Inlet’s beaches a convenient option for days relaxing out on the sand. Two classic community parks, Altman Playground and Oscar E. McClinton Waterfront Park, position playground equipment and athletic courts within steps of the boardwalk and busy fishing jetties jutting out over the water. More tennis and basketball courts are further inland at Uptown Park, as are a baseball field and a four-lane track.
Try Fishing along the coast on the Uptown Atlantic City boardwalk.
Oscar E. McClinton Waterfront Park is located in Atlantic City.

Single-family homes and condos with waterfront views
Sidewalks connect a diverse collection of homes and condos from Uptown’s bayside waterways to the high-rise dominated blocks closest to the Atlantic Ocean. Rowhouses, duplexes and similarly small single-family homes built in the early 1900s sell for $80,000 to $250,000, while single-family homes with the multi-level porches common in 2000s era beach properties sell for $330,000 to $700,000 depending on square footage and proximity to the water. Townhouses built in the 1990s sell for $180,000 to $300,000. Condos in complexes closer to the beach block sell for $140,000 to $650,000 depending on the building and floor level. “Uptown attracts maybe 70% investors and 30% primary residents because of the property values. There’s more profit to be made with short-term rentals and Airbnb,” Gordon says. Between apartment buildings and single-family homes which have been converted into short and long-term rentals, most Uptown Atlantic City residents rent rather than own their homes.

National R&B Music Society concerts
On a couple of afternoons in the warmer months, The National R&B Music Society Inc. invites locals and visitors to attend their free summer concert series at the end of New Hampshire Avenue. Listeners bring coolers and lawn chairs, enjoying hours of musical acts in a grassy field a few yards from the waters of Absecon Inlet.
Dining around Gardners Basin
Around Gardners Basin, restaurants like Back Bay Ale House capitalize on their waterfront venues with relaxed, pub-style menus and gravel-covered outdoor patios. “Gilchrist is famous for their blueberry pancakes, people wait in line for them,” Gordon says. Long wait times don’t deter diners from enjoying soul food staples for breakfast, lunch and dinner at Kelsey & Kim’s Southern Cafe a few blocks away. For essentials beyond what’s available at convenience stores like Lighthouse Food Market and Dollar General, shoppers head to Save A Lot in Downtown Atlantic City. Several houses of worship hold services throughout Uptown Atlantic City.
