Somers Point NJ
Homes for Sale

Somers Point calls itself "The Shore Starts Here," and it earns the tagline — the historic bayfront city sits right at the foot of the Route 52 bridge to Ocean City, the last stop on the mainland before the beach. It's the oldest settlement in Atlantic County, anchored by the Somers Mansion overlooking Great Egg Harbor Bay since the 1720s, and today it's a genuine year-round town with a strong second-home draw. Best of all, it offers real bayfront living at prices well below the island across the water, with much of the market landing under $400K.

The bay is the whole identity. The Bayfront Historic District along Bay Avenue and Shore Road is the town's beating heart — marinas, boat slips, and the fine restaurants and music venues that have drawn crowds for generations. Shore Medical Center, the city's largest employer and a full regional hospital, keeps the economy steady year-round, and Kennedy Park's high banks give one of the best bay views on the mainland. Garden State Parkway Exit 30 and the Ocean City bridge put both the highway and the beach minutes away.

The market runs on condos — and especially waterfront condominiums. Named bayfront communities like Harbour View, Harbor Cove, Bay Meadows, Sunset Marina, and Greate Bay make up much of the for-sale activity, alongside homes communities like Anchorage Poynte and The Fairways and the tree-lined single-family neighborhoods inland. It adds up to one of the most attainable ways to own on the water anywhere near the shore.

Location seals it. Somers Point sits ten minutes from Atlantic City, a bridge from Ocean City's beaches and boardwalk, and just south of the Linwood and Northfield mainland — all served by the Mainland Regional schools.
