February 18, 2026

Longport, NJ: The Jewel of Absecon Island

Longport is the southernmost borough on Absecon Island and arguably its most exclusive. With wide, pristine beaches, low density, and a quiet residential atmosphere, Longport attracts buyers who value privacy, luxury, and natural beauty above all else.

Building a custom home in Longport is the ultimate Jersey Shore dream. Oasis Property Group has built luxury custom homes throughout Longport and understands every nuance of what it takes to build successfully in this unique borough.

Why Longport Is Special

Exclusivity and Low Density

Longport has strict zoning that limits density, meaning less crowding, wider lots, and a more peaceful environment compared to neighboring communities. If privacy matters to you, Longport delivers.

Premium Real Estate Values

Longport consistently commands the highest per-square-foot prices on Absecon Island. A custom-built home here represents a significant and lasting investment in one of New Jersey's most desirable zip codes.

Stunning Natural Setting

With the ocean on one side and the bay on the other, Longport offers some of the most dramatic natural scenery at the Shore. Many of our Longport builds are designed around these views.

Building Considerations in Longport

Strict Zoning

Longport has detailed zoning regulations around setbacks, lot coverage, and building height. Our team knows these codes inside and out, ensuring your design is fully compliant from day one.

Elevation and Flood Zones

Most of Longport falls within FEMA flood zones. Proper elevation is critical and when done right, it also dramatically reduces your flood insurance premiums.

Limited Available Lots

Buildable lots in Longport are rare. Many new builds involve purchasing an existing home and building new. Our team can help identify the right opportunity for your budget and vision.

"My wife and I just built a house with Oasis Property group. Their professionalism, knowledge and attention to detail is such a striking contrast to some of the experiences we've had in the past. They are so accessible, transparent and fair throughout the entire process. OPG delivered beautifully on everything they offered. We could not be happier with the final result. Would recommend Oasis to anyone looking to build a home in South Jersey."
