165 Riddle Ave

A low-rise townhouse community built in 1988 along the Shrewsbury River in Long Branch, NJ, composed primarily of two-bedroom, multi-level waterfront units. Architecture is vernacular shore-style: pitched roofs, rail-backed balconies, and broad sliding doors that emphasize water views and outdoor access. Interiors commonly include eat-in kitchens with greenhouse windows, recessed lighting, decorative moldings, hardwood floors, built-in cabinetry, and attic storage with pull-down stairs. Unit plans are stacked townhome layouts with a lower-level family/den that opens to decking and boardwalk, a main living/dining level with fireplace and balcony, and private bedroom suites above, often with en-suite baths and walk-in closets. Common exterior features emphasize the river setting: private decks, multiple terraces per unit, continuous boardwalk, shared boat ramp/jet-ski launch, and recent exterior updates like Trex decking and bulkheads. Parking is provided via private driveways and attached garages plus guest spaces; water is sometimes included in maintenance fees. Pet and service policies vary by unit/HOA. The complex sits minutes from Monmouth Beach, Pier Village, restaurants, NJ Transit and a high-speed ferry, offering a blend of year-round coastal living and recreational boating lifestyle.
