OCNJ Local Home of the Week: New Construction on a Large Gold Coast Lot at 2036 Haven Avenue
Most new construction in Ocean City is sold on finishes. This one starts with the land beneath it. At 40 feet wide and 115 feet deep, the lot at 2036 Haven Avenue is larger than many new-construction lots in town. It’s also in the Gold Coast, one of the island’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Add a brand-new single-family home by local builder STAR Builders, complete with an elevator, garage, and five bedrooms, and you have one of the most compelling ways to get into Ocean City new construction this fall: early enough to choose your finishes and plan for next summer.

A Gold Coast Address
The Gold Coast has long been one of Ocean City’s most sought-after parts of the island, known for its quieter residential atmosphere and easy access to the beach and boardwalk. From Haven Avenue, the beach is just a short walk or bike ride away, and the neighborhood’s relaxed pace is as appealing in October as it is in July.
That combination is a big part of the appeal for families who want easy access to everything Ocean City is known for—the sand, the boards, the restaurants, and the shops, while returning to a quieter block at the end of the day.
Built for How Families Live at the Shore
The home centers on an open-concept main living area, with a gourmet kitchen flowing seamlessly into the dining and living spaces. The kitchen features high-end cabinetry, stone countertops, a tile backsplash, and updated appliances. A gas fireplace anchors the living area, making it inviting in the shoulder season as well as in summer.
All five bedrooms feature carpet for comfort, while upgraded flooring extends through the great room, stairs, and hallway. The bathrooms have tiled showers and baths with elevated vanities. With four full baths and a powder room, nobody has to wait in line after the beach.
What truly sets it apart, though, is the elevator. In a shore house, it means no more hauling coolers, luggage, and groceries up flights of stairs—and makes the home genuinely comfortable for grandparents and guests of all ages.
Low-Maintenance by Design
Outside, the home is designed for more time enjoying it and less time maintaining it. It features a maintenance-free exterior, tilt-in windows for easy cleaning, a large front deck for evening drinks and people-watching, an enclosed outdoor shower to rinse off the sand, and a garage—a valuable perk in a town where summer parking is at a premium. Gas heat and central air complete the package.
Note: Photos shown with the listing are sample images from neighboring STAR Builders projects currently under agreement, and are intended to show the builder’s style and finish level.
Strong Rental Potential
For buyers who want the home to help pay its own way, 2036 Haven Avenue checks the boxes vacation renters look for first:
- Five bedrooms, four and a half baths. Room for large families and multi-generational groups, the core of Ocean City’s rental market.
- An elevator. A standout feature for renters traveling with grandparents or small children.
- Gold Coast location. A sought-after neighborhood with easy access to the beach and boardwalk.
- Garage and outdoor shower. Two of the most practical, most-requested features in a shore rental.
- Brand-new construction. Fresh finishes photograph beautifully for rental listings and appeal to renters looking for a modern home.
