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.

The borough is served by the Point Pleasant School District, with two elementary schools (Nellie F. Bennett and Ocean Road), Memorial Middle School and Point Pleasant Borough High School. Nellie F. Bennett Elementary School, at 2000 Riviera Parkway, is the closest district school. The district did not publish an attendance map we could find, so ask the district which elementary school serves a specific address.

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