Around the Block

Avalon
Affluent families with generations of ownership and seasonal renters looking for an upscale experience.

Avalon is the northernmost beach town located on 7 Mile Island and is a destination for second-home ownership. Its location places it roughly one mile further out to sea than its neighboring barrier island, which explains their slogan “Cooler By A Mile.”

What to expect:
Spacious Cape Cod and Craftsman style homes with lush yards and ocean views.

Avalon is more than just a normal Southern New Jersey beach town, the lush sand dunes and charming streets make you feel as if you’ve stepped back in time. Generations of locals and summer residents keep the upbeat culture alive frequenting spots like The Windrift Restaurant, with 360° views of the ocean and live music in the summer or Cafe Loren, where you can enjoy a gourmet meal and dessert.

The lifestyle:
Every day is a vacation with time to relax and soak in the rich culture of the area.

The culture of Avalon is what sets it apart from the rest. Residents enjoy a laid back atmosphere with shops and dining walkable from their homes but have the opportunity to jump on a trolley and take in the scenery during the summer season.

Unexpected appeal:
Close proximity to other Jersey Shore beaches with a destination secluded feel.

While still close enough to walk or drive to other beach towns like Sea Isle City or Stone Harbor, Avalon’s maritime lined forests give residents the feeling of being on a secluded beach destination with all of the amenities they desire.

The market:
Second-home buyer demand causes tremendous sales across the board.

As a beach town with a seasonal draw, Avalon’s market is heavily influenced by second-home owners and buyers. Buyers are drawn to the gorgeous waterfront properties, Cape Cod and Victorian style homes and large yards for entertaining. This market also features historic homes on the island, some of which were built in the mid 1800s.
