Ortley Beach is an unusual mix of small traditional summer cottages and new full-sized homes that run from the beautiful ocean sands through quiet middle blocks to the narrow lagoon streets that wind far out onto the bay. You can also find two-family properties, cottages on condo-ized half-lots, oceanfront and bayfront condominiums, and commercial properties to open your long-dreamed-of, summer- or year-round business. Lacking in curbing in some areas and having many odd-sized (but still buildable!) lots, Ortley has a little something for everyone at a little easier price than it's fully-developed neighbors.

As a part of Toms River Township, Ortley Beach shares police services with Toms River over the Tunney-Mathis bridge, but has it's own fire station, first aid building, and shopping areas in the heart of town. You will be close to restaurants, a marina, liquor store, health spa, bike rentals, tennis courts, oceanfront nightclubs and a fully-stocked, dependable grocery store when you find your piece of the Jersey Shores in Ortley Beach.
