601 Heck St

The Monroe is a low-rise, two-story condominium built in 2017 with 34 units arranged around private entries and limited common corridors. Units are primarily two-bedroom layouts (with one- and three-bedroom plans also offered) that emphasize open, airy living areas, 9-foot ceilings on both levels, recessed lighting, built-in features, and private outdoor space such as balconies or covered outdoor rooms. Kitchens are detailed with high-end finishes seen in listings: Italian cabinetry, stone counters, and premium appliances; bathrooms are described as spa-like with modern tile and frameless glass elements. Shared amenities center on a planted rooftop terrace with grilling stations, a gas fire pit, and seating clusters for entertaining, plus bike storage and assigned parking including some units with two spaces and private storage cages. The building provides controlled access and thermal windows, and several homes feature private rooftop terraces with outdoor kitchens and fireplaces. Designed by Chad Oppenheim, the property sits three blocks from the beach and one block from downtown Asbury Park, placing it within a dense walkable neighborhood of restaurants, music venues, and transit. Pet policies are flexible (listings note no weight restrictions), and the community is positioned for low-maintenance, amenity-forward coastal living close to the boardwalk and transit.
