Atlantic Highlands Housing Guide
Real Estate
Atlantic Highlands combines historic village homes, hillside properties with water views, condos and apartments, and a compact commuter-friendly downtown. The borough is a small market, so a limited number of listings or closings can move headline statistics quickly; property-level condition, elevation, slope and flood exposure matter more than a single median.

Attached and multi-family housing provides alternatives to detached homes near downtown and the harbor.
Access to Seastreak is a distinctive factor for New York City commuters.
