Ortley Beach, NJ Homes for Sale & Real Estate
Barrier-island living in Toms River Township, between Lavallette and Seaside Heights.
Living in Ortley Beach
Ortley Beach is part of Toms River Township, not a separate town. It sits on the barrier island between Lavallette and Seaside Heights, with about half a mile of lifeguarded ocean beach between 3rd and Harding Avenues and boardwalk access along the way. Because it’s part of Toms River, property taxes, schools, and municipal services come through the township, and students attend the Toms River Regional Schools.
- A section of Toms River Township on the barrier island
- About half a mile of guarded ocean beach in summer

The Ortley Beach market
Ortley Beach was among the areas hit hardest by Hurricane Sandy, so a home’s elevation, construction date, and flood insurance weigh heavily on value. I compare recent Ortley Beach sales closely rather than relying on Toms River averages.
