Oakhurst NJ Homes for Sale
Local Knowledge. Shore Results.Updated October 2026
Route 35 runs along the western edge of Oakhurst, Ocean Township's oldest village. Oakhurst was first built for the tradesmen and craftsmen who worked the nearby shore estates, and it still has its own retail center.
Ocean Township Elementary sits here, and the township runs a full K-12 district through Ocean Township High School. I closed a $1,225,000 sale on Bowne Road in Ocean Township, so if a house catches your eye, call or text me at (609) 709-2742 and I'll tell you what that street is really like.

What It's Like to Live in Oakhurst
Ocean Township has no central downtown. People here tend to name their village before their township: Oakhurst, Wanamassa or Wayside, each with its own retail center. Oakhurst is also a census-designated place of its own, with 4,069 residents in the 2020 census.
From Oakhurst, Route 35 runs about 2.5 miles north to Eatontown and about 4.5 miles south to Neptune City. Asbury Park's restaurants are close, Monmouth University sits just over the township line in West Long Branch, and the train is a short drive away in Long Branch.
The township runs a lot of amenities for its size: a large park system, a public library, a community pool and tennis facility, a municipal gym and a nine-hole golf course.
The Homes in Oakhurst
Oakhurst's housing covers a wide range. Current listings include post-war houses from the 1950s and 1960s, a few from the 1930s and 1940s, and large new construction on some streets, with some new homes listed at more than 5,800 square feet. That spread is why the price range runs so wide.
As of October 2026, there are 36 active Oakhurst listings on the MLS, priced from $799,000 to $6.75 million.
What to Know Before You Buy in Oakhurst
The right Ocean Township. New Jersey has two municipalities called Ocean Township. Oakhurst is in the Monmouth County one. Make sure any listing, tax or school data you're reading is for the right town.
Zoning by address. I'm a certified zoning officer, and I'd confirm the current zoning for any specific address before you plan an addition or a rebuild. It can vary a lot between sections of the township.
Schools and the budget. Oakhurst is in the Ocean Township School District, a K-12 system with five schools. The district gets more than 80% of its funding from local taxes and has dealt with flat state aid and declining enrollment in recent budgets, so read the current budget news alongside the tax bill.
