The luxury housing market in Atlantic City continues to grow. In June 2022, median home prices were up 35.1% compared to last year, according to realtor.com. “The Atlantic City market continues to be very strong, especially in the Lower Chelsea and Chelsea Heights areas. As a result, we are seeing home sale prices that I don’t think we’ve ever seen, particularly for renovated and new or newer homes,” says Brian Hiltner, Broker-Associate Realtor with the Hartman Home Team of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, Fox & Roach Realtors.
This steady growth is due to several reasons. “Buyers that are looking to be closer to the beach, want more house for their money, and want to be close to the many amenities the Boardwalk or bay offer—have discovered Atlantic City. Four of five years ago, these buyers wouldn’t have even considered AC,” Hiltner says. There’s also a huge tax abatement in Atlantic City, which is a major draw for many buyers.
As a result, luxury home builders from Margate, Ventnor, and the surrounding areas have taken notice and expanded to Atlantic City, including Ben Chapman Development. After overseeing the construction of more than $100 million in real estate, Chapman’s latest project is in the Lower Chelsea neighborhood of Atlantic City. This new construction home will be located at 119 S. Kingston Ave., which is beach block and just five houses to the boardwalk and beach. It’s listed at $1.5 million.
