The Metedeconk, the Manasquan and miles of barrier beach — northern Ocean County’s biggest waterfront town.
Brick Township sits at the northern edge of Ocean County, bordered by the Metedeconk River to the north, the Manasquan River system to the northwest and Barnegat Bay to the east. With nearly 75,000 residents, it is one of the ten largest municipalities in New Jersey by population and the largest in Ocean County.
Brick’s real estate story is defined by water. The Metedeconk and its tributaries cut deep into the township, creating dockable waterfront in neighborhoods like Cherry Quay, Shore Acres, Cedar Bridge Manor and Greenbriar. The barrier island section — Brick Beach I, II, III and the Normandy Beach corner — gives the township direct Atlantic frontage.
For year-round buyers, Brick offers the deepest inventory in northern Ocean County across the full price range — entry-level ranches, lagoon-front colonials, the Greenbriar 55+ communities, and high-end waterfront on the Metedeconk.
Brick Township Public Schools serves the entire township K–12, with two comprehensive high schools, three middle schools and ten elementary schools.
Brick’s park system is among the most developed in Ocean County — multiple bayfront parks, the Brick Reservoir loop, Windward Beach Park with its summer concert series, and a full menu of athletic complexes.
