Point Pleasant Borough, NJ Homes for Sale & Real Estate
Riverfront, canal, and creekside living in a borough with its own school district.
Living in Point Pleasant Borough
Point Pleasant Borough is shaped by its waterways: the Manasquan River along its northern edge, Beaver Dam Creek to the south, and the Point Pleasant Canal running through town. On the river, Riverfront Park has a pavilion, a walking pier, a playground, and benches for watching the boats. The borough is separate from neighboring Point Pleasant Beach, though the two share the 08742 ZIP code, and the Point Pleasant School District serves students from pre-kindergarten through Point Pleasant Borough High School.
- Manasquan River to the north, Beaver Dam Creek to the south
- The Point Pleasant Canal runs through the borough
- Point Pleasant School District, through Point Pleasant Borough High School
- Next to Point Pleasant Beach, which has the boardwalk and an NJ Transit rail station
The Point Pleasant Borough market
Point Pleasant Borough has homes on the river, the canal, and the creek, along with inland streets. Waterfront and inland homes are priced differently, and flood zones vary from street to street, so I look at recent nearby sales and flood maps for each specific address.
