717 Ocean Ave

Ocean Cove is a mid-1980s oceanfront condominium complex in Long Branch offering primarily two-bedroom floorplans within a low-rise footprint that reads like a resort-style community. Constructed in 1984, the property presents a mixture of light-filled corner residences and more private units, many with balconies and expansive views of the Atlantic. Interiors commonly feature high ceilings, recessed lighting, eat-in kitchens, built-in cabinetry, wet bars, and hardwood or tile finishes; units range from renovated penthouses with 11-foot ceilings to comfortable single-level plans with nine-foot ceilings on the first floor. Building services and shared spaces emphasize recreation and convenience: a staffed lobby with elevator access, 24-hour security/doorman, valet and underground parking, an exercise room, party/card rooms, and storage facilities. Outdoor amenities are extensive and curated for seaside living — private beach access with attendants, heated pool, poolside cabanas, hot tub, outdoor shower and grill areas, basketball and tennis courts (and pickleball), landscaped rec areas and boardwalk adjacency. The association enforces parking and pet/occupancy rules; many listings note low taxes and moderate condo fees relative to the amenity package. Located steps from Pier Village, transit and restaurants, Ocean Cove caters to residents seeking direct ocean access and a full-service, year-round coastal lifestyle.
