Monmouth Hills…. A unique historic community of 42 homes 

  Monmouth Hills was developed in the late 1800’s/early 1900’s primarily as a summer resort for wealthy Manhattan residents who wanted a place by the Shore.  Then, as now, there was water transportation in the form of a steam boat that brought the families with their belongings and horse and buggies over from Manhattan. 

  We are a unique location as well, being located at the highest point above sea level on the entire eastern coast line from Maine to Florida.  We sometimes have our own “micro climate” because of this.  Our proximity to the ocean typically causes a nice breeze in the summer months, rarely creating the need for air conditioning. 

Our community is very family oriented and hosts a number of special events at our historically registered club house including an annual Easter Egg Hunt, 4^th of July Picnic, Halloween Hayride and Holiday Party with a special visit from Santa Clause.   In addition to these events, we have several “adult” get togethers throughout the year where we each bring an horsdoeuvre and meet at the clubhouse for a casual evening of good company and good fun. 

Included is a write up about our wonderful clubhouse so you will begin to understand how lucky we are to have this asset.  In addition to the clubhouse, we have terrific HarTru tennis courts for the private use of our homeowners. 

Other important information to include about living on “the Hill” is that our annual dues go in part toward out trash pickup and sewer bill.  There is no separate charge for these expenses.  The balance goes towards the maintenance of the common areas including the roads.  By the way, the dirt roads are a great surface in the winter as compared to pavement.  It’s a very rare occasion that you are not able to get off the Hill during bad weather.  We have an excellent plowing service and the dirt gives us the traction we need.  If all this fails, you can always walk down the Hill to the bus stop or ferry which is about a 10 minute walk. 

Monmouth Hills is a very special place to live because of its wonderful sense of community and history and any one moving here will quickly learn to love everything that makes living in Monmouth Hills so unique.
