Atlantic Beach real estate

Atlantic Beach real estate includes a range of property styles, from elegant waterfront homes and updated condos to classic beach cottages and new construction. Much of the residential area is laid out in a relaxed grid, with palm-lined streets and easy access to the beach and sound. Elevated homes with large balconies and rooftop decks are common, taking full advantage of ocean or canal views.

Popular neighborhoods include Money Island Bay, Ocean Ridge, and the areas surrounding Fort Macon Road. These communities feature a mix of primary residences, second homes, and short-term rental properties. Many homes showcase coastal color palettes, open floor plans, and modern amenities like hurricane-rated windows, smart home features, and custom kitchens.

The blend of year-round residents and vacation homeowners has created a real estate scene that caters to both lifestyles. Buyers can find everything from maintenance-free townhomes near the marina to expansive homes on large lots with private docks or beach access.
