Homes Of Jersey

If you’re one of the millions who tune into MTV’s “Jersey Shore,” you probably picture the state’s coastline communities as a thick cluster of tourist towns like Seaside Heights, crammed with debauched guidos and guidettes packing summer crash pads and looking for love, or the one-night equivalent.

But what you don’t see is the other side of New Jersey, where expensive estates fill some of the country’s most affluent areas. Ask longtime real estate agents about the real Jersey Shore and they’ll tell you (after a chuckle or a sigh) that for every boardwalk tourist trap, there’s a ritzy enclave of multimillion-dollar homes just down the beach.
With help from Trulia.com, Realtor.com, Sotheby’s International Realty and Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, we compiled a list of 15 homes sure to inspire a vacation.
