6 New Jersey Towns Offer Retirees Options From Beach Living to Budget Stays

Harrington Moving and Storage pinpointed six prime locations across New Jersey where retirees can settle. Coastal hideaways, antique-filled streets, and wallet-friendly neighborhoods with older populations made the cut.

Long Beach Township tops the price charts. Homes here sell for around $1.5 million at the median. Forty percent of those who live here have passed 65, and the median age is 61.

Manchester Township wins for retirees watching their wallets but still craving ocean breezes. Nearly half the 45,000 people living there are 65 or older, and Forbes crowned it the state’s best retirement destination because crime stays low, air stays clean, doctors are plentiful, and houses won’t drain your savings.

Surf City draws older adults who now make up half of everyone living there. You can walk to art galleries, gift shops, boutiques, bookshops, restaurants, and vendors selling fresh seafood.

Holiday City at Berkeley sprawls across one of the state’s biggest retirement setups. More than 10,000 homes are spread through different sections. Each section runs its own clubhouse, HOA, social clubs, and a calendar packed with activities and events.

Little Egg Harbor hugs the state’s biggest bay. Bass River State Forest and wetland preserves wrap around it on multiple sides, which pulls in active adults who crave time outdoors.

Lambertville belongs to the Greater Philadelphia or Delaware Valley region. This small city built a reputation as the state’s antiques capital, and its walkable downtown hosts tiny antique shops, boutiques, restaurants, and bed and breakfasts that crowd the streets.

Harrington Moving and Storage examined what sets each spot apart for retirees. Different perks await depending on how you want to spend your days and what your bank account allows.
