The Short Take

Downtown At A Glance

Downtown is one of the distinct neighborhoods the city names. It runs along Broadway, and the city plans for lower Broadway, a portion of Downtown, to become an Arts District.

In June 2013 the city approved a transit village designation for the area around its train station, which can bring incentives for revitalization and new building.

The Long Branch Arts & Cultural Center opened in 2021 in a former bank at 577 Broadway, and its Branchport Galleries expansion, announced in January 2026, doubled its gallery space.

Know Before You Buy

Flood Zones And Schools

Before you make an offer, look up the address on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and ask the seller for the flood zone and any elevation certificate. Dennis Mark can pull the flood zone for any home you're considering.

Long Branch is served by Long Branch Public Schools, pre-K through grade 12, for the whole city: three early childhood centers (Lenna W. Conrow, Joseph M. Ferraina and Morris Avenue), three elementary schools (Amerigo A. Anastasia, George L. Catrambone and Gregory), Long Branch Middle School and Long Branch High School. The district does not publish an online school finder, so ask it which school serves an exact address.

School information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed, and boundaries change often. Verify enrollment with the school district.
