Brigantine NJ Beach Homes
5 Reasons To Love Brigantine NJ
Brigantine NJ is not the most well knows shore town in NJ. That’s part of the charm of Brigantine. Here are 5 Reasons to love Brigantine NJ.
Number 1: The Beaches
Brigantine Beaches are beautiful, not packed, and easy to get in and out of. Brigantine also has one of the few beaches in NJ that allow 4 x 4 access to sections of the beach. Personally I spent a lot of time there one summer playing beach volleyball with the Brigantine Beach Volleyball Association.
Number 2: Location
Brigantine is located just North of Atlantic City. It’s easy to access Brigantine from Route 30 and the Atlantic City Expressway and garden state parkway. Once in Brigantine there it is a peaceful and fun retreat.
Number 3: Boating
Brigantine offers many amenities for boating lovers. Many of the homes are on the bay or cove that allows boat slips. This gives you easy access to the bay and ocean. Enjoy fishing, crabbing or relaxing on the water. Jet skiing is also popular in Brigantine. Or enjoy kayaking or paddle boarding.
Number 4: Affordability
Brigantine home prices are typically lower than some of the other shore towns. You can purchase a 3 bedroom 2 bath home in the $300,000 price range. Waterfront homes start in the $400,000 range.
Number 5: Golf
The Links at Brigantine Beach is a fantastic 18 hole golf course open year round. Enjoy ocean breezes on this Scottish Links style golf course.
Brigantine Beach has much to offer for a year round residence, vacation home or investment. We have an office located in Brigantine to help with any real estate needs there. Contact us and we’d be glad to help. Call 609-484-0890 ext. 132.
