Strathmere Real Estate Options

The town of Strathmere has come a long way from its humble origins in the 1800s. While still technically a “small” town – the year-round population is about two hundred – the town has become something of a tourist hot-spot of late, with most real estate in the area devoted to holidaymakers during the peak season.

The area is relatively under-developed, with the only beaches in the “Five-Mile” stretch of New Jersey coast that don’t require beach tags.

Strathmere offers lots of vacation rentals thanks to its reliance on tourism, most of which provide a balance of quality and affordability. Summer homes and apartments are available to rent all year round, and it’s not rare to find personal domiciles being subdivided and partially rented to travelers.

Rental is an important component of income for most residents, and the pristine beaches and quiet city center don’t discourage investment in the area.

Summer houses are the norm when you’re in Strathmere, with rents for entire homes ranging from about $800 to $2000 per week, depending on the size, location and furnishing of the place. There are quite a few multimillion-dollar places that get rented out, but even the mid-range houses should be fully equipped with amenities like dishwashers and entertainment electronics.

Apartments and condos can also be found at more affordable rates, suitable for couples and small families. The apartments usually contain basic amenities and have the advantage of extreme proximity to the beaches of the area.

Bookings can often be made quite close to the date, but care should be taken during the peak season when accommodation in both homes and apartments gets scarce. It’s worth checking out realty sites like SeaWinds on a regular basis to get a feel for the market, especially if planning an extended stay.
