Known as "The Community of Gracious Living", the Township of Ocean is an 11 square mile suburban community located in east central Monmouth County at Lat.: 40.2480/Long.: -74.0298.  The Township of Ocean operates under (Faulkner Act) Council-Manager form of government, as set forth in the New Jersey Constitution. Our five-member Council sets policy and adopts local ordinances while our Council-appointed Township Manager oversees the day-to-day administration of the Township. 

The outstanding public school system coupled with a wide array of municipal amenities including an expansive park system, a public library, a community pool and tennis facility, a municipal gym, a nine-hole golf course and a comprehensive offering of recreational programming have buoyed property values. Other community benefits include close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean beaches and the presence of two country clubs. In addition, we presently offer three well-established senior housing communities: Poplar Village, Heritage Village at Ocean and Heritage Village at Oakhurst, with additional age-restricted housing under construction. Quality shopping and dining opportunities are plentiful both in Ocean Township and within a close radius.
