Morris, P.E., R.S. New Jersey Professional Engineer License # 24GE04285300 Certificate of Authorization #: 24GA28146300 sale price of a single-family home in the city rose 27% from 2017 to 2020. In Morris County, Jeff erson Township is a sprawling, largely protected wilderness town- ship some 50 miles from midtown Manhattan. Mayor Eric Wilsusen predicts the township’s low crime rates and the appeal of living near lakes and forests will continue to draw home buyers to its two large, developed sections: the Lake Hopatcong neighborhood to the west and Oak Ridge/Milton to the east. Sales were up 43% this year over last. Bergen County’s Oakland contains starter homes, such as ranches and Cape Cods, that can be found for under $400,000—making the borough an aff ordable alternative to its pric- ey northern-Bergen County neighbors. Th at helped fuel a big jump in sales volume, up 40% this year over 2020, says the outlet. Robbinsville, in Mercer County, is consid- ered a suburb of Trenton and is home to mixed- use Washington Town Center, along with new development designed under the New Urbanism model that promotes walkable neighborhoods and diverse types of housing. Parks, shopping, and restaurants are in strolling distance from about 1,000 detached homes and townhouses on smaller lots, as well as condominiums and apart- ments above retail spaces in the development. Th e median listing this summer for townhouses and condos in Robbinsville was $300,000; for single-family homes, the median was $620,000, the outlet states. Sayreville/South Amboy, in Middlesex County, is fi nally getting a makeover from its gritty, industrial wasteland image courtesy of a nearly $3 billion investment in mixed-use devel- opment in the two towns. Four thousand hous- ing units are proposed, along with direct ferry service to Manhattan and waterfront businesses. Somerville, Somerset County, created a spe- cial improvement district to retain the vitality of its downtown, including a rezoning to allow residential development, according to New Jersey Monthly. Several mixed-use developments near the train station were recently completed or are underway, as are luxury townhouses on the east end that are listing for $500,000 and up. Union Township, part of Union County, is a diverse community with a downtown shopping district that has plans for major redevelopment, including housing. With easy access to New York City and aff ordable price points, the township is poised to appeal to younger households, says the outlet. In Atlantic County, Ventnor City is a beach town with a growing population of permanent residents. Diverse housing stock, including a healthy dose of new construction, is currently aff ordable—but prices are on the upswing. A 15th fl oor, 1,100-square-foot, recently renovated condo in Regency Tower on the boardwalk, for example, sold for $405,000 in January 2021; it had last sold for $202,450 in 2017. n PULSE continued from page 6 EXIT Blue Water Realty 943 Highway 34 Matawan NJ 07747 732-696-8088 • www. associationsrus .com We provide HOA and Condo management for associations in Monmouth, Middlesex, Union and Ocean counties.
