OCNJ Home of the Week: Brand-New Beach Block Living at 840 Plymouth Place, Unit 1

Some homes sell you on square footage. This one sells you on the walk. From the front door of 840 Plymouth Place, Unit 1, the sand, the boards, and the classic downtown stretch are just a short stroll away- the same stretch that has made Ocean City “America’s Greatest Family Resort” for generations. Add brand-new construction, single-level living, and a private garage, and you have one of the island’s most compelling beach-block opportunities this fall.

Beach Block, Boardwalk Close

Location is the headline here. Unit 1 sits on the beach block in the heart of Ocean City’s best-loved section, where the beach, the boardwalk, coffee shops, dining and downtown shopping are all within easy walking distance.

That means mornings can start with coffee and a walk on the boards, afternoons are spent on the beach without loading the car, and evenings end with pizza, fudge, caramel popcorn and a ride or two at Playland’s Castaway Cove. The historic Music Pier, which has hosted concerts and shows on the boardwalk since 1929 and is home to the Ocean City Pops summer series, is a short stroll away. Asbury Avenue’s downtown shops and restaurants are just a few blocks inland.

In a town where summer parking is at a premium, the ability to park once and walk everywhere is a genuine luxury, and the private one-car garage makes it even easier.

Designed for Shore Living

Inside, the home centers on a thoughtfully designed open living space with hardwood floors and modern finishes throughout. The eat-in kitchen opens to the dining area, making it easy to cook, gather, and entertain after a day at the beach. It comes fully equipped with a gas stove, self-cleaning oven, dishwasher, disposal, microwave, and refrigerator.

The primary suite has its own full bath, while two additional bedrooms and a second full bath give family and guests plenty of room to spread out. A dedicated laundry/utility room with a washer and dryer keeps beach towels under control.

Outside, you’ll find all the features that matter most at the shore: an outdoor shower for rinsing off the sand, an enclosed or covered porch for relaxing in the ocean breeze, and storage for bikes, chairs, and boogie boards. Central air, natural gas forced-air heat, and a gas water heater keep the home comfortable in July and cozy during the shoulder season.

Strong Rental Potential

For buyers who want the property to help pay its own way, this unit checks the boxes Ocean City vacation renters search for first:

• Walk-to-everything location. Beach block homes near the boardwalk are among the most requested rentals in town, and they tend to book early.
• Three bedrooms, two baths. The ideal layout for families and multi-generational groups, Ocean City’s core rental market.
• First-floor, single-level layout. A standout for grandparents, young families and anyone tired of carrying coolers up stairs.
• Garage parking. A major selling point near the boardwalk in peak season.
• Brand-new construction. Fresh finishes photograph beautifully for listings and mean fewer maintenance calls in the early years.

The boardwalk area also draws visitors well beyond summer, with fall festivals, weekend getaways and holiday events, giving owners the chance to extend their rental calendar into the shoulder seasons.

Brand-new construction on the beach block, steps from the boardwalk, with a garage and a rental-friendly layout doesn’t come along often. For more details contact Pete Madden, Broker/Owner at Goldcoast Sotheby’s International Realty.

.Ocean City Boardwalk Zone: Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the Ocean City Boardwalk? The boardwalk runs roughly two and a half miles along the oceanfront, lined with shops, restaurants, amusements, and beach access. Homes in the boardwalk area, like this one, put you close to its liveliest central section.

Is the boardwalk open year-round? Yes. The boardwalk is open all year for walking, jogging, and people-watching. Many shops and amusements are seasonal, but plenty of businesses stay open on weekends into the fall, and the town hosts events throughout the off-season.

Can I ride a bike on the boardwalk? Yes, with time limits in summer. For the 2026 season, bikes were generally permitted from 5 a.m. to noon between mid-June and early September, with some extended hours earlier in the season. Riding is generally allowed all day in the off-season. Police can restrict bikes during special events or bad weather, so always check posted signs.

What is there to do near the boardwalk? Highlights include the historic Music Pier (concerts, the Ocean City Pops, musicals and pageants), Playland’s Castaway Cove amusement park, mini golf, arcades, surf and souvenir shops, and classic boardwalk food. Downtown Asbury Avenue adds boutiques, cafes and restaurants a few blocks away.

Is living in the boardwalk zone noisy? It’s lively in peak summer, especially on evenings and weekends, which is exactly what many owners and renters love about it. In the fall, winter and spring, the area is noticeably quieter.
