Ventnor City is a beautiful community on the Jersey Shore located just to the south of nearby Atlantic City. Ventnor City is nestled on Absecon Island between the cities of Atlantic City - America's Playground - and Margate. It is also only 10 minutes from the popular summer community of Ocean City. With the bay framing one side of the city and the Atlantic Ocean framing the other side, Ventnor City real estate offers a unique blend of both high end beachfront homes and modest residential neighborhoods.

Living in Ventnor City
Ventnor City is a great vacation community with a wonderful year-round residential population as well. Approximately 50% of the people who own homes in Margate live in Ventnor real estate full-time.
In the summer months, the population in Ventnor grows. Unlike other shore communities with "weekly rentals," Ventnor's summer visitors come here for a minimum of one month, with many renting for the whole season. They make Ventnor their "home" for the summer. There are plenty of camps available and also educational/recreational programs offered by the Cities of Ventnor, Margate or Longport.
Ventnor City's History
When the original landholders of this area were trying to come up with a name for the city in 1889, a couple who had visited England were struck by the area's beauty and decided to name it for a town they had seen on their travels: Ventnor, England. The city wasn't incorporated, however, until 1903. It quickly became a destination spot for tourists due to its beautiful location on the Jersey Shore. Tourism continues to be the mainstay of Ventnor City's economy to the present day.
Education in Ventnor City
There are two schools operating on Ventnor real estate: Ventnor Elementary and Ventnor Middle School. While these two schools operate separately, they are situated in one building: the Ventnor Educational Community Complex (VECC).
High school students in Ventnor, as well as Brigantine, Longport and Margate, receive their education from Atlantic City High School. This is part of a sending/receiving relationship set up between the cities and the Atlantic City Board of Education that was established in 1920.
Fun Things to See & Do in Ventnor City
There are several amazing restaurants and shops occupying Ventnor real estate. Many of these establishments can be found primarily along Ventnor Avenue. When it comes to finding a place to stay in Ventnor, there are so many choices.

Ventnor's boardwalk grants easy access to the more famous boardwalk in Atlantic City while allowing its users to stroll along the beautiful Jersey Shore on foot.
The Army Corps of Engineers have been overseeing a project to create more "towel space" along Ventnor City beaches through its replenishment project.
