Shark River Hills, NJ

Tucked along the scenic curves of the Shark River in Neptune Township, Shark River Hills is a quiet, leafy waterfront neighborhood with a tight-knit coastal feel. Surrounded on two sides by water, the community naturally gravitates toward riverfront living, from morning kayak outings and paddleboarding to watching boats cruise past the local marinas. It feels calm and tucked away, while still putting you only minutes from the boardwalks, restaurants, and ocean beaches of neighboring Belmar and Asbury Park.

The neighborhood is a popular choice for families and commuters looking for a relaxed Jersey Shore setting. Kids often attend Shark River Hills Elementary School right within the community before moving on through the wider Neptune Township school district. Between the winding, tree-lined streets, local beach club, and quick connections to Route 35 and the Garden State Parkway, the area delivers an easy balance of waterfront charm and everyday convenience.
