Our Take
Asbury Park has a median home value of over $500,000 and a relatively high median household income, but its walk score is unavailable and the community has experienced issues like ICE sweeps. While it has a vibrant festival scene, including the Sea.Hear.Now festival, the neighborhood's overall livability is impacted by these factors.
