Historic Homes for Sale in Ocean City, NJ

Ocean City homes and condos for sale that were built in 1940 or earlier, updated daily from the MLS.

Ocean City's first lots went on sale in 1880, and the oldest blocks of the north end and downtown still have homes from those first decades. In early November 2026 the MLS showed about 14 Ocean City listings built in 1940 or earlier, from about $145,000 for a condo in an older building to about $2 million. Most were condos in converted older homes and buildings, with a few single-family and multi-family homes.

The historic district

Ocean City created a local historic district in 1992, overseen by the city's Historic Preservation Commission. According to the city, certain demolition, new construction and rehabilitation within the district need the Commission's approval, so before you plan changes to an older home, ask the Planning office (115 12th Street, 609-525-9173) whether the property is in the district.

Separately, the Ocean City Residential Historic District, about 169 properties roughly between 3rd and 8th Streets and Central and Ocean Avenues, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. Its homes include Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Craftsman and other styles from the 1880s through the 1920s.

What to check with an older home

  • Elevation and flood insurance. Many older homes sit lower than new construction. Ask for the elevation certificate and a flood quote early; see shore home costs in Ocean City.
  • Plans for big renovations. Large renovations of older homes can trigger elevation rules and, in the district, Commission review. Talk to the city before you count on an addition.
  • Condo conversions. Many historic buildings are now condos. Our guide to buying a condo in Ocean City covers fees, reserves and rental rules.

Counts and prices are from the MLS as of Nov. 9, 2026, rounded, and change daily. Year built is as reported in each MLS listing. Sources: City of Ocean City, Historic District; Wikipedia, Ocean City Residential Historic District.
