A Brief History of Beach Haven, NJ
Established in the late 19th century as a seaside resort, Beach Haven has long been a favorite destination for vacationers and homeowners seeking laid-back coastal living. Historic homes line its streets, and a strong tradition of preservation meets new construction with architectural character.
Today, Beach Haven is a year-round community with small-town charm, vibrant seasonal activity, and an appreciation for well-designed, high-quality homes.
Our Process: Custom Home Building in Beach Haven
We believe building a custom home should be exciting, not overwhelming. Our proven process keeps you informed and in control, every step of the way:
Initial Consultation
We’ll sit down to discuss your goals, budget, and vision. Whether you already own land or need help finding the perfect Beach Haven lot, we can assist from day one.
Architectural Design
Our in-house design team collaborates with you to create a home tailored to your lifestyle and lot size. We specialize in coastal architecture, elevated floor plans, and open layouts that maximize light and views.
Permitting & Compliance
Beach Haven, like much of LBI, has strict zoning and flood zone requirements. With decades of experience, we handle the permitting process and local regulations seamlessly.
Construction & Project Management
From groundbreaking to final finishes, our team manages the entire build. You’ll have one point of contact and regular updates so you always know where your project stands.
Final Touches & Walkthrough
Before we hand over the keys, we complete a detailed walkthrough to ensure everything is finished to the highest standard. Our work isn’t done until you’re thrilled with the result.
Making the Most of Your LBI Lot
Beach Haven lots—like much of LBI—can be narrow, irregular, or close to the floodplain. That’s where our creativity and coastal experience come in. We design homes that feel expansive and functional, even on compact footprints.
♦ Vertical layouts and elevated living spaces
♦ Rooftop decks with panoramic views
♦ Custom cabinetry and built-ins
♦ Seamless indoor-outdoor living
We’ll help you make the most of every square inch.
