Coastal suburb with plenty of parks and restaurants
On the Jersey Shore at the northern tip of Barnegat Bay sits Brick Township, a coastal suburb with a mix of home prices to fit any budget. What started as a farming and sawmill town in the mid-1700s transformed into a summer vacation destination after its incorporation in 1850. It continued to be a rural resort area until major residential and commercial growth occurred after the opening of the Garden State Parkway in 1950. While the township's proximity to the water is a big draw in the summer months, Brick has plenty going on year-round for residents between its parks, restaurants and community events. "The whole Jersey Shore has become more year-round than it used to be," says Laura Parios-McBride, a sales associate with O'Brien Realty and a Jersey Shore resident. "People appreciate the beauty whether it is summer or winter."
Some neighborhoods in Brick Township have direct access to the Atlantic Ocean.
