Plaza 22 Condos for Sale

Living in Plaza 22

Plaza 22 sits at 2137 Asbury Avenue in the Gold Coast section of Ocean City, two blocks from the beach and the boardwalk. It went up in 1969 and it is a small, well-kept building rather than a complex — no pool, no clubhouse, no front desk. What it has instead is a location that does more work than any amenity package could, and a monthly obligation that stays modest because there is not much to fund.

Start with the block, because the block is the reason people buy here. Uncle Bill's Pancake House, Blitz's Market, Nauti Donuts and Aunt Betty's Ice Cream are all right outside the door. That is breakfast, groceries, coffee and dessert without moving the car, in a town where the summer parking situation is the single biggest friction in anyone's week. Two blocks the other way is the sand. Guests who stay here tend to arrive on Saturday and not drive again until they leave.

The units come in two sizes. One-bedroom, one-bath homes run around 560 square feet, and two-bedroom, two-bath units sit at roughly 806 to 820 — a genuinely useful size for a building at this price point on this island, with full kitchens, separate living and dining areas and real second baths. Condition varies because owners have renovated on their own schedules; several units have been taken to updated kitchens, new baths and vinyl plank flooring throughout, and others are closer to original.

The practical features are the ones that matter in a small building. Assigned off-street parking comes with the unit, right at the door — the thing that separates a usable Gold Coast condo from a frustrating one. There is on-site laundry, outdoor showers at the rear and north side of the building for coming in off the beach, bike racks on the south side, owner storage closets, and a courtyard that functions as the building's shared outdoor space. First-floor units are their own small category for anyone who wants to skip stairs entirely.

Ownership here runs across every use. Plaza 22 works as a low-maintenance getaway, a year-round place, or a rental — several units carry established rental histories, and the walk-to-everything location is what drives that. If you are shopping this stretch of the island, the Gold Coast page covers the surrounding blocks, The Oceanic is the other small central building with a low entry point, and the full Ocean City condo market runs boardwalk to bay.
