We often get asked, where’s the best place to buy on Absecon Island? Where should we buy a vacation home?
To best answer that question, obviously, it’s best to know the buyer’s objective. All things being equal, every one of the 4 Absecon Island towns have attractive real estate opportunities. Even AC. (believe it or not)
Margate? Plenty of demand for premium homes. Can’t go wrong in the land of Lucy. And right next door in Longport, this quiet borough kicks the concept of premium vacation homes up a few notches.
But what about Ventnor? Should you consider buying in Ventnor? Short answer is yes. But fair warning…..this part of Absecon Island may be the most misunderstood. But, we believe, this makes Ventnor Real Estate the most under-valued… with mucho upside.

Arrow Hardware on Ventnor Ave getting close to being officially sold? Will we soon see another Ventnor eatery in this spot? If so, Ventnor is on a tear with restaurant start-ups. If true, this would add to the recent announcement of Delaware Meat Market being converted into a restaurant in the near future.
Future home of DUNKIN DONUTS?
This property on the corner of Ventnor & Portland Ave. has been sitting idle for more than 16 years. It was a former gas station. Clean up of these types of properties is usually expensive. Is this property still contaminated? Who knows. Ask 5 different people, you get 5 different answers.
Plans for building a Dunkin Donuts / Baskin Robbins on this spot has already passed muster with the Ventnor Planning Board. But for some reason, all is still quiet on this parcel of land.
