Beach Fill Update- Avalon NJ

By ann

The beach fill project in Avalon is more than halfway complete. 

All beaches north of 17th Street are filled and open for use.  The dredge pipes will remain along the high tide line until the entire project is complete.

I took these pictures today from the 16th Street beach path looking north (top photo) and south.  Dressed for work…but happy to take off my shoes and walk in the sand!

The dredge and equipment will move on to Stone Harbor next.  The pipe is already in place adjacent to the jetty by the point.

Will continue to post updates.

Sightings in May

By ann

Caution: after a long winter of warm layers and hats, the beach walkers are exposing pale legs and poofy morning hair…while singing along to an iPod, forgetting there are a few more people on the beach.  Sorry about that 😉

BTW- the opening date for Carney’s of Stone Harbor is Friday, May 20th.  Hopefully, third time is the charm for a restaurant/bar in that  location (97th and Third Avenue).

A Favorite Quote

By ann

Printed on a college graduation program, and very appropriate on Mother’s Day.

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition.; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success”   —  Ralph Waldo Emerson

Happy Mother’s Day

By ann

Happy Mother’s Day to my mother, sisters, daughter in law, and women friends.

Our unwavering support for each other…and a healthy sense of humor, are essential to surviving the job of motherhood  🙂

View From a Beach Chair

By ann

Yesterday, my beach chair spent 2 hours in the sand (near the dunes to block the cool wind).

Pleasant weather again today for the Avalon Yard Sale and Stone Harbor Sail Into Summer event.

Busy real estate day, too.   Thankful for the return of buyers and renters to the shore!

Bay Front Neighborhoods

By ann

Looking to buy on the bay? 

The bay front neighborhoods of Avalon and Stone Harbor, NJ offer unique features depending on your needs.

The options range from a basic “fisherman’s cottage” to a massive, 3 story home with a pool.   There are bulkhead lots, and natural sandy beach lots (usually more phragmites than sand).   As expected, the dock area is often the featured amenity with expensive boat lifts and fish cleaning stations.

There are bay front condos starting at $279,000 (1 bed/1 bath 9511 Sunset Drive, Stone Harbor), and three level side by side townhouse style units for $1,395,000 (new construction 613 Sunrise Drive, Avalon).

A cottage on a small lot, $1,299,000 (charming renovated home at 320 86th Street); to an amazing custom home at the end of Pelican Drive in Avalon for $9,999,000!   On average,  bay properties are priced between $1,500,000 to $3,00,000; depending on lot size and age of the structure.

For a list of specific homes/condos on the bay (or anywhere on the island!), send me a request:  ann@anndelaney.com

I appreciate the opportunity to help…and will wave to you as I kayak by your dock   🙂
