About The Jersey Shore, New Jersey Shore Area

The Jersey Shore

Background :

The Jersey Shore is a term used in the mid-Atlantic region of the United State to refer to both the Atlantic coast of New Jersey and the adjacent resort and residential communities. Its popularity as a tourist destination is due in large part to the nearly continuous stretch of beaches along its length, classic themes (antique, quaint, and classic), and boardwalks filled with hundreds of rides.

The Jersey shore represents one of the most booming real estate markets on the East Coast as its prominence as a tourist destination and vacation spot has risen greatly in the past decade.

The Jersey Shore is home to many renown boardwalks located in towns including Asbury Park, Atlantic City, Belmar, Cape May, Ocean City, Keansburg, Long Branch, Point Pleasant Beach, Seaside Heights, and Wildwood.

Jersey Shore locals (generally from Ocean County and Monmouth County) are known for their mild-manneredness yet staunch disdain for rowdy tourists (shoobie or benny in the local vernacular), usually from the New York and Philadelphia Metropolitan Areas.  The origin of the word "benny" is disputed. Some believe it may be derived from the word "benefit"; early day-trippers to the Jersey Shore were given free trips as an economic "benefit" to the area. Locals in the northern part of the Jersey Shore - usually the beaches of Monmouth County - will customarily explain the origin of the word as an acronym for "Bayonne, Elizabeth, Newark, New York," which are the four main areas of which "bennies" were originally residents. Most tour guides to the area cite the former explanation as correct and claim the latter is simply a backronym. However, in either usage, the term "benny" is usually infused with scorn by locals. The word "shooby", also disputed is said to have originated from vacationers who brought pack lunches to the area, often in shoe boxes. Others claim it derived from the fact that vacationers would often wear their 'shoes' on the Beach, usually accompanied with dark socks bringing attention to the fact.

Real Estate Tips
Investment Real Estate >Renting Your Home

Homeowners who don't need the equity from their home to purchase a new home may consider renting it instead of selling. Rental property is almost always a good investment, but you should understand the consequences of becoming a landlord.

Tenants may not share your pride of ownership and, therefore, may not maintain the property like you would. If you plan to rent your property, acquaint yourself with state or local landlord/tenant laws, including those dealing with rent control and eviction procedures. If the home you rent has been your primary residence, you could lose the benefits of a capital gains deferral when you sell it later. Get professional advice from a tax expert and a professional real estate agent before you decide to turn your home into rental property.
