Berkeley Township Barrier Island Real Estate (South Seaside Park)
Homes for Sale, Oceanfront & Bayfront Living
Living on the Berkeley Township Barrier Island (South Seaside Park)
The barrier-island section of Berkeley Township, commonly referred to as South Seaside Park, offers a rare combination of quiet coastal living, limited development, and proximity to protected natural land. Located just south of Seaside Park and directly north of Island Beach State Park, this stretch of barrier island is prized for its privacy, lower density, and strong long-term real estate value.
Unlike more commercial shore towns, the Berkeley Township barrier island is almost entirely residential, making it ideal for full-time residents, second-home buyers, and investors seeking a calmer Jersey Shore lifestyle.
Paul Kaminski, a Jersey Shore real estate specialist, provides expert guidance for buying and selling homes in this unique and often misunderstood coastal market.
