Where is the Gardens section of Ocean City?
The Gardens sits at the very north end of Ocean City. It starts at North Street and runs north from there, beach to bay, up to the Longport inlet. Historically it was once part of Longport.
Does the Gardens include North Street?
Yes. Most people consider North Street the first street of the Gardens. It's the southern edge of the neighborhood, and the Gardens runs north from there up to the Longport inlet.
What makes the Gardens unique?
A few things set it apart. Winding roads instead of the usual grid, backyards with real grass, and a lot of pie-shaped lots. Plenty of the streets sit at higher elevation than the rest of the island. And you've got easy off-island access over the Longport bridge, which stays low traffic compared to the main routes out of town.
What kind of homes are in the Gardens?
Some of Ocean City's largest and most prestigious estates are here, but it's not all big builds. You'll still find coastal ranchers and original bungalows mixed in, along with single family homes and condo duplexes.
The Gardens has one high-rise condo building. Gardens Plaza at 322 Boardwalk.
