The starting price for a property on Long Beach Island (LBI) is $400,000 for a studio condo. When looking for a property under $1,000,000 on the island, you’ll primarily find one to three-bedroom condos, townhomes, or units in multi-family homes and on occasion, a single family ranch. It’s important to note that the land value for a 50×100 lot begins at $800,000, therefore, it’s crucial to check if the property is in good condition as often times single families in this price range will be offered primarily for its land value as a teardown property.
This is the price range for finding a single-family home for sale on LBI. A typical starter home is often an original ranch, raised ranch, Cape Cod, or duplex built between the 1950s and 1970s. These homes may or may not be elevated on pilings or blocks, which affects both the flood risk and the home’s potential future value. It’s also important to consider whether the property is situated on a smaller lot or in a less desirable location, such as along Long Beach Boulevard or adjacent to commercial spaces.
This price range is a good starting point for finding a raised single-family home for sale on LBI. Options may include a raised ranch, raised Cape Cod, or older contemporary homes built on pilings from the 1980s to early 2000s. Being elevated above the base flood elevation will help minimize your flood risk and reduce your flood insurance premium. In this price range, it is possible to find a move-in-ready home, sometimes even newer, located on the bayside or midblock. However, homes closer to the beach or those with larger lot sizes often tend to be older and may have minimal updates.

In addition to new constructions, you can also find well-maintained contemporary homes built between the 1990s and 2000s, as well as entry-level waterfront properties, including oceanfront, bayfront, and lagoonfront homes.

If you are in search of a luxury home for sale on LBI this is the starting price range to consider. You can expect to find larger homes (2,800 sqft or more) that are either new or recently built, situated on conforming 50×100 or oversized lots located oceanside or on the ocean block. These homes typically feature high-end finishes, expansive backyard packages, and, in some cases, water views. Additionally, you can expect to find mid-level and above lagoonfront homes, as well as oceanfront or bayfront properties that do not require major renovations.

These homes are located on both the southern end and the private tracts of the northern end of the island. They typically offer over 4,000 square feet of living space, expansive backyards, and, in many cases, water views.

The majority of properties on the island are single-family homes, which typically make up 70% or more of the active real estate inventory. Pricing generally starts around $1,000,000 and can climb as high as $10,000,000+ for the island’s most premier estates. You’ll occasionally find single-family homes priced below the $1M mark, but these are typically situated on undersized lots and are often offered primarily for their land value as teardown properties.
View All Single-Family Homes →On average, multi-family residences typically represent less than 10% of the total housing inventory at any given time. The most common configuration is an up-and-down duplex, which usually features a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom (2/1) or 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom (3/1) layout on each floor. Side-by-side multi-family homes are becoming increasingly common as builders look to stretch profits on each lot, though they’re only permitted in Long Beach Township, Beach Haven, and Barnegat Light. You’ll also occasionally find triplexes and quadplexes available for sale.

Condos offer the most affordable options for a property on LBI, starting at $400,000 for a studio and $500,000 for a one-bedroom. Several traditional condominium complexes on the island have 10+ units, while many smaller associations comprise four units or less — these are typically found in the form of houses that have been divided into several units. Beach Haven has the most condos out of any town on the island and features both oceanfront and bayfront options.
View All Condos →For buyers looking to build their own homes, it’s important to know that most of the land available on Long Beach Island consists of older homes rather than vacant plots. This is because buyers commonly purchase these older properties with the intention of demolishing them to build anew. As a result, many older single-family homes aren’t listed under the land category, even though their pricing often reflects the potential for teardown and new construction.
The market for purchasing land on LBI is highly competitive, attracting end users, investors, and builders alike — which means many of the most desirable properties never reach the open market. As one of the island’s highest-transacting teams, we have off-market access and direct relationships with the area’s most active builders. If you’re interested in purchasing land on LBI, we’d love to talk through how we can help.

New construction homes are becoming increasingly common on LBI as more builders have flooded the island and homes built in the early-to-mid 1900s reach the end of their lifespan. New construction single-family homes on LBI typically start in the $3,000,000 range. If that price point is out of reach, new side-by-side duplex units offer a more accessible entry — these typically feature 4+ bedrooms per side and start around $2,300,000.
