Rumson, NJ Condo for Sale

Rumson, a historic waterfront neighborhood, has evolved from a Gilded Age resort community to a year-round haven for affluent residents. Located between the Navesink and Shrewsbury Rivers, it is popular among boaters and anglers, with a marina in town and homes offering fishing and boating access. The area features large, leafy lots and proximity to pristine beaches, with Sea Bright beaches accessible via the Sea Bright bridge, currently under construction to alleviate summer traffic. Local highlights include Victory Park with its playground, pickleball courts, and nearby Barnacle Bill’s and Crazee’s ice cream, as well as Meadow Ridge Park’s walking trails. Rumson Country Club offers an 18-hole golf course and marina. The neighborhood is known for its seashore colonial homes, with properties ranging from small starter homes to sprawling estates along the rivers. Families are drawn to Rumson for its highly rated schools, including Deane-Porter, Forrestdale School, and Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School. Local businesses along River Road, such as Brennan’s Deli and French Market, add to the community feel, while nearby shopping and dining options are available in Little Silver, Middletown, and Red Bank. NYC commuters benefit from the Seastreak ferry service and NJT station in Red Bank. Despite a significant flood risk, particularly for waterfront properties, the allure of Rumson’s scenic location and recreational opportunities continues to attract residents.
