ALLENHURST 
Incorporated as a borough on April 26, 1897, Allenhurst is located in Monmouth County , New Jersey. It was ranked 131 in Forbes Magazine's list of the most expensive ZIP codes in the United States . Allenhurst is nestled amidst a string of wealthy summer communities between Long Branch and Asbury Park, just north of Loch Arbour and just south of Deal.
Within close proximity to New York City, Allenhurst sits along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.

Transaction prices in the community have increased dramatically since 2000, as more families have discovered the peaceful seaside town.
