A Record-Breaking Sale in a Historic Neighborhood

Ventnor just saw one of its biggest home sales in recent memory.

A 6-bedroom, 4.5-bath residence in the St. Leonard’s Tract closed for $2.1 million on June 27, marking a standout moment in the local market. The home, over 3,200 square feet and just steps from the beach, drew interest for its old-world architecture and location in one of Ventnor’s most storied neighborhoods.

This milestone is more than just a number—it signals renewed interest in character-rich homes and validates the value of Ventnor’s upscale pockets.

St. Leonard’s Tract: Where Tradition Meets Prestige

Known for its distinctive architecture, larger lots, and tree-lined blocks, St. Leonard’s Tract sits west of the Boardwalk between Surrey and Cornwall Avenues. It’s one of the few areas in Ventnor where historic charm and walkable beach access still go hand in hand.

Highlights of the recent sale:

• Over 3,200 sq ft of living space

• Classic architectural details

• Close proximity to the Boardwalk and beach

• Strong buyer interest despite limited summer inventory

According to Realtor.com, homes in this area have averaged in the high six- to low seven-figure range, but this sale marks a high point not seen in recent years.

Inventory Grows—But Prices Hold

Overall, Ventnor’s housing inventory has grown by nearly 30% since spring, offering buyers more options. But prices for larger homes and new construction remain firm, particularly in North Beach and the Heights area.

One Facebook commenter paraphrased it perfectly: “You used to be able to get these places for $1.2M—now it’s double or you’re outbid.”

Local Agent Insight: Why These Sales Matter

St. Leonard’s Tract homes are in demand because they offer something rare: architectural soul. These aren’t cookie-cutter builds—they’re legacy homes, and buyers are paying for that uniqueness.
