Netflix Is Coming to Monmouth County: What It Means for Local Real Estate
Big news is making waves along the Jersey Shore: Netflix is bringing 12 new soundstages to Monmouth County, spanning the towns of Eatontown and Oceanport. With construction already underway, real estate professionals are keeping a close eye on the ripple effects this project will have across the region.
For homeowners, buyers, and investors, this expansion is more than just Hollywood glitz—it’s a sign of growth and opportunity.
A Region Poised for Growth
While Eatontown and Oceanport will see the most immediate changes, surrounding communities are also expected to experience rising interest. Towns such as Tinton Falls, Shrewsbury, Long Branch, Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, and Bradley Beach are well-positioned to attract the incoming wave of industry professionals and vendors supporting the entertainment sector.
The draw is clear: vibrant nightlife, an eclectic dining scene, proximity to the shore, and easy access to the new Netflix campus.
Economic Impact Beyond Real Estate
With major soundstages comes an entire ecosystem of new jobs—from production crews to hospitality, dining, and retail. Vendors that support the film and television industry are likely to expand in the area, creating demand not only for housing but also for commercial spaces.
This kind of growth often signals an investment window, where buyers and businesses can get in before property values and demand reach their peak.
Communities to Watch
For those considering their next move, here are some Monmouth County hot spots expected to benefit from the Netflix effect:
■ Long Branch & Asbury Park – Already buzzing with nightlife and culture, these towns are set to become even bigger magnets for the celebrity scene.
■ Bradley Beach & Neptune – Classic shore communities that could see a surge in popularity as more people flock to the area.
■ Rumson, Fair Haven & Little Silver – Known for excellent schools and a strong sense of community, these towns are likely to attract families connected to the new entertainment hub.
■ Red Bank – A lively downtown with arts, dining, and culture, making it a natural fit for new residents.
■ Oceanport & Eatontown – The closest neighbors to the Netflix campus, perfectly positioned for growth.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
For homeowners in these areas, the arrival of Netflix could mean an increase in property values as demand grows. For buyers and investors, this may be a pivotal moment to secure property before the studios open their doors and the market heats up further.
