One of New Jersey's oldest and largest townships. Monmouth's biggest town — Bayshore ferry hamlets, historic Middletown Village, Lincroft, and two high schools across 40 square miles.
Middletown is the largest municipality in Monmouth County and one of the oldest communities in New Jersey — a sprawling 40.91-square-mile township of 67,106 residents (2020) settled in the 1660s under the historic Monmouth Patent. It stretches from the Raritan Bay shoreline to wooded inland hills, encompassing dozens of distinct neighborhoods and Bayshore hamlets, each with its own character.
The median sale runs near $790K, spanning everything from Bayshore cottages to executive homes in Lincroft and Navesink. The Belford SeaStreak ferry and North Jersey Coast Line stations connect the township to New York, the Garden State Parkway (Exits 109 and 114) crosses it, and the large Middletown Township Public Schools — with both Middletown High School North and South — serve the community. Run under a township government, it offers more variety than nearly any town in the county.

Know the Section. Middletown is really dozens of neighborhoods in one township — Lincroft lives nothing like Belford. Choosing the right section is the single most important decision here.
Commuter Options Abound. Few towns give you a choice of ferry or train to New York; Middletown offers both, plus the Parkway, making it a commuter favorite.
Space and Parks. Poricy Park, Thompson Park, the Bayshore, and miles of trails give the township a green, outdoor character across its 40-plus square miles.
Value at Every Level. The range from Bayshore cottages to Lincroft estates means there's an entry point for nearly every buyer and budget.
Schools + Government. The large Middletown Township Public Schools, with Middletown High School North and South, serve the township under a township government.
Around $790K township-wide, though it varies widely — Lincroft and Navesink run $1M-$2M+, the core market $650K-$1M, and Bayshore sections $450K-$650K.
