First incorporated in 1890, Brigantine is an island city in Atlantic County, NJ, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and a network of inlets and waterways that give it a character all its own. Sitting just across Absecon Inlet from Atlantic City, it offers a quieter, more residential pace while staying closely connected to one of the region's most recognized destinations. The city spans about 11 square miles, and its coastal geography shapes nearly every aspect of daily life here.
Major metros like Philadelphia and New York City are both within a two-hour drive, making Brigantine a practical base for those who want shore-town living without sacrificing access to larger economic centers. The local housing stock reflects the island's laid-back coastal identity, with a mix of single-family beach homes, townhomes, and low-rise apartment communities that blend into the residential streetscape.
