Located in Monmouth County

The picturesque seaside town of Spring Lake Heights offers its residents and vacationers an unhurried atmosphere of gracious living, which has made it a unique resort at the Jersey Shore for more than 100 years. Two miles of uncluttered beach and the longest non-commercial boardwalk in New Jersey add to the one-of-a-kind atmosphere of Spring Lake Heights.

Turn-of-the-century architecture borders the wide tree-lined streets which surround a large lake. "Spring Lake" is named for the fountains of crystal clear water which emanates from a multitude of underground springs. It is a fresh water lake located at approximately sea level, with a size of 16 acres. It drains into the Atlantic Ocean. The lake and surrounding park provide the habitat for fish, birds, plants, small woodland animals, and water insects. Paths, shady nooks and rock gardens extend through the weeping willow lined shores of the lake and provide a peaceful spot for a quiet evening walk.

Shoppers also have a reason to enjoy Spring Lake. The town is noted for more than 60 fine shops and boutiques. A variety of gourmet restaurants are here to tempt your appetite. Everything from home-cooked meal in a quiet atmosphere to continental cuisine in elegant surroundings is available.

Entertainment may include a band concert at the Gazebo, or an evening of theatre at the Community House. Of course, golf, tennis, fishing, bicycling, water skiing, boating, horseback riding, and even thoroughbred racing and trotters are available nearby.

Spring Lake Heights has its own elementary school. The teachers ensure the children have well rounded educations, and have associated themselves with schools from other countries, so the children get an idea of what life is like outside of New Jersey and the United States.

Homes, like the rest of the homes on the Atlantic seaboard tend to run a little higher in price than those further inland. Being that Spring Lake Heights is only a mile from the ocean, and some of the homes are located right on the ocean itself, most homeowners expect to spend right around a million for their home. Sometimes a deal comes along, and for those who don't need a house right on the beach, more moderately priced homes might be found.

With four distinct seasons, Spring Lake Heights is an outdoor lovers paradise with a plethora of activities to do no matter the season. So, from surfing in the summer months, to enjoying a bracing walk in the winter snows, there is something to keep every member of the family happy.

Spring Lake Heights is a unique town with plenty on offer for those who want to make this their permanent residence, or perhaps a summer getaway, whatever your reasons, you don't want to miss this place!
