Why Move to the Jersey Shore?
The Jersey Shore offers a unique blend of coastal living, vibrant communities, and easy access to major metropolitan areas. Whether you’re drawn to the beaches of Cape May, the boardwalks of Atlantic City, or the charming towns of Monmouth County, relocating to the Jersey Shore from Philadelphia or Pennsylvania provides an exciting lifestyle change.
Many families and professionals choose the Jersey Shore for its excellent school districts, lower property taxes in certain areas, thriving local businesses, and year-round recreational activities. The region combines the tranquility of beach living with the convenience of being close to New York City and Philadelphia.

What to Know Before Moving to Jersey Shore
Cost of Living
The Jersey Shore offers varying price points depending on the town. Waterfront properties command premium prices, especially in sought-after areas like Avalon and Stone Harbor. However, inland communities provide more affordable options while still offering beach access. Property taxes vary by municipality, with some towns offering more favorable rates than Pennsylvania.
Best Time to Move
While summer is peak season at the shore (May through September), the best time to move is often during the off-season (October through April) when traffic is lighter and moving companies have better availability. Spring and fall offer mild weather and easier logistics.
Local Amenities
Each Jersey Shore town has its own character. Ocean City is a dry town perfect for families, while Asbury Park offers a vibrant arts and music scene. Cape May features Victorian architecture and historic charm, and Long Beach Island provides 18 miles of pristine beaches with a relaxed atmosphere.
Commuting Options
Many Jersey Shore residents commute to Philadelphia or New York. The Garden State Parkway provides the main north-south route, while the Atlantic City Expressway connects to Philadelphia. NJ Transit offers rail service from several shore points to major cities.
