AVALON n. - An Island Paradise
Avalon New Jersey Realty booms with expansion and growth because it is a resort town with a rich and unique history, with still pristine and beautiful beaches. It is now a place called home for many Avalon NJ Realtors. Originally purchased for about 606 pounds by Aaron Leaming from the Lenni Lenape Indians, Avalon was first sought after for its thriving timber resources and bountiful land for cattle grazing. Avalon, NJ or "Seven Mile Beach," was also leased to whalers who worked the coastline for centuries.
Years later, after numerous transactions, the island was sold to a team of developers who started the Seven Mile Beach Company and began making room for an expansive Avalon NJ Real Estate market. This final purchase was the start of the resort town of Avalon, New Jersey and has since provided me the opportunity to serve as your Avalon NJ Realtor. By cutting down the juniper forests and grading the rolling sand dunes, all of which were done by hand, Avalon slowly evolved into a thriving resort with many gorgeous Avalon New Jersey rentals and homes for sale. From its beginning stages to this day, the Avalon NJ Real Estate market continues to thrive. In 1893, a single lot on First Avenue sold for an average price of $500. From 1909-1912, the appreciation in the cost of real estate was 106.5%.
The old Avalon Hotel was originally constructed on Sixth Street. Contrary to popular belief, first through fifth streets were not washed away during the great storm of 1962. They were in fact never created, because the relentless tide would not allow developers to move further north in their construction. First Street onward was an idea on a tax map that never materialized because of its close location to the marshy wetlands. The hotel was later moved to Eighth Street because of the ever-increasing threat of beach erosion.
Hotel Avalon was a stop for the train from Philadelphia, and also served as a meeting place for the borough council. Over the years, the hotel changed ownership numerous times and underwent extensive renovations. Avalon NJ Realtors were always in competition to get involved with the beautiful hotel. But the biggest attraction in its later years, by far, was the famous Bongo room.
The Bongo room was one of the biggest dance clubs in all of Cape May county and attracted people from all around the world. Every Sunday during the summers of 1976 to 1985 the "fabulous Greaseband" would entertain its happy visitors all night long. Then, in 1987, the nearly century-old Avalon Hotel was demolished to make way for the new Avalon Hotel that was later converted into condominiums. Although we do miss the old Avalon Hotel, the new condominiums provide excellent opportunities for Avalon NJ rentals.
Over the years many hotels, houses, and roads have come and gone in Avalon. The one thing that remains the same is the endless flow of people that continue to flock to the town to enjoy their vacations in an Avalon NJ rental. Avalon New Jersey Realty was created from a resort community and has flourished from the beginning as such. To learn more about the history of Avalon I recommend reading "Faces and Places from Avalons Past" written by David Coskey. Most of the information I wrote about Avalon, or "the seven mile beach," I read in his very informative book. It has helped me become the successful and knowledgeable Avalon NJ Realtor and Stone Harbor NJ Realtor that I have become today!
