55 Ocean Ave

A low-rise oceanfront condominium complex constructed in 1982, this single-story building contains primarily two-bedroom residences designed for comfortable shore living. Architecture favors functional, coastal-oriented layouts with expansive balconies and large windows to maximize sea and skyline views. Interiors commonly include nine-foot ceilings on the first floor, eat-in kitchens, recessed lighting, hardwood or engineered floors, built-in storage, wet bars and upgraded finishes in many units; select residences feature bonus rooms, attics, and custom millwork. Shared spaces are extensive and resort-like: an all-marble lobby with 24-hour security and concierge, fitness facilities with men’s and women’s locker rooms and saunas, social rooms and a library/card room, and an oceanfront sunroom. Outdoor amenities focus on recreation and beach access — direct access to a wide beach, a heated outdoor saltwater pool with chaise lounges, newly resurfaced tennis and pickleball courts, basketball court, outdoor grills and shower facilities. Practical provisions include underground assigned parking with storage units, controlled access, elevator service, onsite management, landscaped grounds with irrigation, and seasonal beach chair/umbrella service. Pet and specific service policies vary by unit; the community’s location in Monmouth Beach offers a coastal lifestyle with proximity to boardwalk attractions and commuter options to New York.
