The Short Take

Wayside At A Glance

Wayside is the western section of Ocean Township, and the Wayside name also crosses the line into Tinton Falls. Hope Road, Wayside Road and West Park Avenue are its main roads, with Route 18 running through.

It stayed farmland until the 1950s, when building moved west of Route 35. Township zoning now allows lots of 1/3 acre to 1 acre in most of Wayside west of Route 18.

Known For Room To Spread Out

Larger lots and a suburban street pattern with many cul-de-sacs west of Route 18. Wayside Park on Green Grove Road has tennis, basketball, a playground, a picnic grove and trails.

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.

The Ocean Township part of Wayside is served by the Township of Ocean School District, which runs three pre-K to 4 elementary schools (Ocean Township Elementary, Wanamassa Elementary and Wayside Elementary), Ocean Township Intermediate School for grades 5 to 8 and Ocean Township High School for grades 9 to 12. Wayside Elementary School is in Wayside. Homes on the Tinton Falls side of the line are served by Tinton Falls schools. The district has no online school finder, so confirm the assigned elementary school for an exact address with the district.

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