Loveladies stands as the most exclusive and affluent community on Long Beach Island, renowned for its dramatic contemporary and modern architecture that sets it apart from any other Jersey Shore destination. Often called "The Hamptons of the Jersey Shore," this enclave features round-walled, geometrically shaped, flat-roofed houses with vertical siding—dramatically different from typical shore homes.
Notable architects including Charles Gwathmey and Robert Venturi (Lieb House, 1967) have left their mark here. Home prices range from $1.69 million to $10+ million, with lot sizes spanning quarter-acre to 2.2 acres—much larger than typical LBI properties.
The LBI Foundation of the Arts and Sciences, established in 1948, serves as the cultural focal point for this sophisticated community of design-conscious residents and visitors.
