45 Ocean Ave

The Shores is a mid-1970s, single-story footprint condominium complex on Monmouth Beach’s oceanfront built in 1976 and developed as a low-rise resort-style residence. Units are primarily one- and two-bedroom condos arranged to maximize coastal views; larger combined units and corner lines create expansive floor plans with multiple terraces and long sightlines to the Atlantic. Interiors commonly feature balcony access, beamed ceilings, eat-in kitchens, decorative moldings, recessed lighting, built-ins and practical laundry rooms; elevators serve the residence and circulation is designed for ease of access. Shared facilities read like a beachfront club: 24-hour concierge and on-site management, indoor and outdoor saltwater pools, a fitness room and hot tub, social/gathering rooms with cafe service, tennis courts and outdoor grilling and recreation areas. Practical onsite provisions include controlled access, storage rooms, covered bike/storage areas, underground sprinkler systems and storm-rated windows; limited handicap-equipped units and elevator access accommodate mobility needs. Parking and charging infrastructure are included; building staff handle security and occasional management services. The property’s immediate neighborhood offers direct private beach access with umbrella and chair service, proximate ferry/bus/train links to New York, and easy access to Pier Village, Asbury Park and Red Bank for dining and shopping, combining coastal leisure with commuter convenience.
