Things Are Looking Up in Sea Bright
With people moving back home, residences on the rise
In one of the only oceanfront towns on the Jersey where most residents live year-round, Hurricane Sandy displaced most of them, leaving homes deemed unihabitable.
Now, more than six months later and the summer season fast approaching, Sea Bright is on the rise in more ways than one.
Not only are things getting spiffed up around town, and more and more businesses are opening, but residents are trickling back into their homes. But, things are not the same.

After many homes were lifted and spun off their foundations, some have been knocked down, some are being rehabbed and yet others are being elevated.
To take a ride through is to see homes in peaks and valleys. Yet, there are still those who can't afford the new insurance rates and/or the price of raising a home, so they may not return.
