Why Build a Custom Home in Longport, NJ?
Longport is one of New Jersey’s most desirable shore communities. Nestled between Margate and Ocean City, this peaceful borough offers privacy, scenic views, and a family-friendly atmosphere. With strict zoning laws and limited space, Longport maintains its upscale charm and exclusivity—making it the perfect location for a thoughtfully designed, custom-built home.
Whether you’re building on a narrow lot near the bay or maximizing space on an oceanfront parcel, our local knowledge and coastal design expertise ensure your home is as functional as it is beautiful.
A Brief History of Longport, NJ
Founded in 1889 by James Long, Longport began as a quaint summer retreat. Built along the southern tip of Absecon Island, the city became known for its calm beaches, scenic boardwalks, and upscale Victorian homes. Today, Longport continues to attract those seeking peaceful coastal living with easy access to Atlantic City, Margate, and the Garden State Parkway.
Despite its growth, Longport retains its small-town feel and low-density zoning—perfect for custom homes that stand out for all the right reasons.
