Homes for sale in Little Silver, NJ — current 07739 listings, median sale prices near $1.0M, the Little Silver NJ Transit station on the North Jersey Coast Line, the Red Bank Regional High School district (located within the borough), and the Parker Homestead state historic site.
If you're searching for homes for sale in Little Silver, NJ, you're looking at one of Monmouth County's most consistently sought-after family boroughs — a 2.7-square-mile municipality on the Rumson peninsula with its own NJ Transit station on the North Jersey Coast Line. Little Silver real estate trades at a median sale price near $1.0 million, with the Red Bank Regional High School (RBR) district (which sits within the borough at 101 Ridge Road), direct one-seat train service to NY Penn, the Parker Homestead state historic site (1725), and a Prospect Avenue commercial mix defining buyer demand.
Little Silver is one of the few Monmouth County boroughs that delivers two scarce buyer requirements at the same time: a walkable NJ Transit train station with direct one-seat service to NY Penn, and the Red Bank Regional High School (RBR) district — which is physically located in Little Silver at 101 Ridge Road. The borough sits on the Rumson peninsula bordering Red Bank, Rumson, and Fair Haven, with a 2.7-square-mile footprint and a population near 6,131. The housing stock is dominated by Cape Cods, split-levels, and substantial New Traditional Colonials on tree-shaded lots, with grand estate-scale homes along the borough's waterways. The Parker Homestead (1725) — one of the oldest surviving structures in New Jersey, a state historic site — anchors the borough's colonial history.
Little Silver Borough School District operates Point Road School (PreK-4) and Markham Place School (5-8) for K-8 students, both earning A ratings from Niche. For high school, Little Silver students attend Red Bank Regional High School (RBR) — which sits within Little Silver at 101 Ridge Road — a regional district shared with Red Bank and Shrewsbury. RBR is one of only 14 New Jersey high schools offering the International Baccalaureate diploma program.
The Little Silver NJ Transit station sits on the North Jersey Coast Line, the stop after Red Bank heading south. Direct one-seat service to New York Penn Station runs with peak trains reaching NYC in roughly 80–95 minutes. The station is walkable from a substantial portion of the borough — a small cluster of townhouses around the train station typically trade between $550K and $720K, with the high-end Alderbrook development reaching over $1M.
Prospect Avenue is Little Silver's commercial spine, with restaurants, retail, the Little Silver Public Library, Borough Hall, and the police station anchored along the half-mile corridor. The borough sits 2 miles from Red Bank's Broad Street and a similar distance from the Eatontown retail corridor — both within a short drive for broader dining and shopping.
Little Silver's housing stock spans a meaningful range — Cape Cods and split-levels from the post-war era, mid-century New Traditionals on quarter- to half-acre lots, substantial new-construction estate-scale Colonials, and waterfront homes along the borough's creeks. Inland singles run roughly $700K–$3M; waterfront homes (which trade infrequently) reach $5M+.
Train-station-adjacent townhomes (typically $550K–$720K) and three-bedroom Cape Cods, smaller ranches, and post-war Colonials on quarter-acre lots. The most accessible Little Silver entry point — though still meaningfully above most Monmouth medians. First-time buyers and downsizers compete aggressively.
Four- and five-bedroom renovated Colonials, larger split-levels with updated kitchens and additions, and the post-2010 rebuild inventory across the borough's residential grid. The largest segment by transaction volume — RBR-district families and Monmouth upgrade buyers anchor demand.
Waterfront homes along the borough's creeks (which sold for $2.9M and $5.2M in 2025), substantial new-construction estate-scale builds on half- to one-acre lots, and the high-end Alderbrook townhouse development. Waterfront inventory is consistently thin and trades quickly when listed.
Little Silver segments meaningfully by proximity to the train station, the Prospect Avenue commercial spine, the borough's creeks (Little Silver Creek and Parker's Creek), and the Rumson border. Little Silver Point is an unincorporated community at the borough's southeastern tip.
The central Little Silver commercial and transit core organized around the NJ Transit station, Prospect Avenue, Borough Hall, and the Public Library. Townhouses, smaller singles, and the high-end Alderbrook development surround the station — the most train-walkable pocket in the borough.
The historic Rumson Road corridor through Little Silver, anchored by the Parker Homestead state historic site (1725) at 235 Rumson Road. Substantial mid-century and pre-war single-family inventory on third- to one-acre lots, with the borough's most architecturally significant non-waterfront homes. Direct corridor to Rumson east and Red Bank west.
The southeastern Little Silver pocket along Little Silver Point Road and the borough's creeks — including the Little Silver Point unincorporated community. Direct waterfront housing, water-view inventory, and the borough's most-watched pocket for waterfront buyers. Note: waterfront properties carry FEMA flood zone considerations — verify before contract.
The northern Little Silver residential pocket organized around Markham Place School. Mid-century single-family housing on quarter- to half-acre lots, regular renovation activity, and the most-searched pocket by relocating families targeting the RBR school district.
"Little Silver is the rare Monmouth borough that delivers train-walkable access to NY Penn and the RBR school district at the same address. The combination is structurally scarce — and the demand pressure shows in the median price."
Little Silver cross-shops most directly with Fair Haven (RFH district, similar pricing, no train), Rumson (RFH district, much higher pricing), Red Bank (RBR district, walkable downtown, lower pricing), and Shrewsbury (RBR district, lower pricing, no train).

Borough History. Little Silver was established with a King's land grant in 1663 and settled in 1667 by brothers Joseph and Peter Parker, who named their holdings "Little Silver" after their father's estate in England. The borough was formally incorporated on March 19, 1923, from portions of Shrewsbury Township. The Parker Homestead at 235 Rumson Road — built starting in 1725 — is one of the state's oldest surviving structures and is a declared state historic site, acquired by the borough and undergoing renovation.
RBR & Local Schools. Red Bank Regional High School (RBR) sits within Little Silver at 101 Ridge Road and serves Little Silver, Red Bank, and Shrewsbury — one of only 14 New Jersey high schools offering the International Baccalaureate diploma program, with five Academy programs (Visual and Performing Arts, Information Technology, Finance, Engineering, Graphic Communications) accepting tuition-based students from across Monmouth County. The borough's K-8 district (Point Road and Markham Place) is classified by the NJ Department of Education as District Factor Group "J" — the highest of eight socioeconomic groupings.
The Sickles Market Legacy. Sickles Market — a Little Silver specialty food and garden market that operated for 116 years before closing in March 2024 — was a defining commercial institution. The Sickles family acquired the land in 1908 and transitioned the operation from wholesale truck farm to year-round specialty market in 1998. The site's redevelopment is part of the borough's ongoing commercial conversation.
Civic Calendar. The Little Silver Borough Day, Memorial Day Parade, Holiday Tree Lighting, summer concerts at the Borough Hall green, and seasonal events at the Parker Homestead state historic site anchor the civic calendar.
