Historic
Tucked at the southern tip of Absecon Island, Longport sits where the Atlantic Ocean and Great Egg Harbor Bay wrap around you on three sides. This quiet one-square-mile borough offers miles of uncrowded shoreline and wide residential streets with a genuinely unhurried pace that sets it apart from busier Jersey Shore towns. Atlantic City lies just a few miles north, putting world-class entertainment and dining within reach whenever you want something livelier, while neighboring Margate City adds everyday shopping and dining options right next door. The rental landscape leans toward beach houses, condos, and low-rise apartment communities, many offering sweeping water views or short walks to the sand. Both seasonal and year-round options give renters real flexibility. Named for James Long, who first developed the island's southern end in the late 1800s, Longport carries a deep coastal history that shows in its charming, low-key streetscapes and carefully preserved character.
