Hampton, Sussex County

What we see in Hampton

Hampton Township sits in the Kittatinny Valley of Sussex County, bordering Newton, Frankford, Fredon, Lafayette, and Stillwater. U.S. Route 206, much of it shared with Route 94, is the main road, along with County Routes 519 and 521, and the township uses Newton's 07860 ZIP code. Lake neighborhoods include part of Crandon Lakes, plus Lake Kemah, Mecca Lake, and Paulins Kill Lake, alongside villages such as Balesville and Washingtonville.

Selling a house in Hampton: what's different here

Crandon Lakes and other lakes

Crandon Lakes is split between Hampton and Stillwater, and Hampton also includes the Lake Kemah, Mecca Lake, Little Swartswood Lake, and Spring Lake areas. Lake properties can involve shared access, small lots, and older construction that lenders review closely. We buy Hampton lake homes for cash, as they are.

150-day rental rule

In May 2021 Hampton adopted an ordinance barring rentals of less than 150 consecutive days, which rules out Airbnb-style short-term rentals. Owners who bought a lake house for vacation rental income may find that plan no longer works. We buy those properties outright, so you can exit without lining up a long-term tenant.

Born from Newton Township

Hampton was created in 1864 when Newton Township was dissolved, and it gave up land to form Fredon in 1904. It is named for Jonathan Hampton, who donated land to Christ Episcopal Church in Newton in 1769. Because addresses here read Newton, we confirm the municipality from the deed and tax records before we make an offer.

Inherited a house in Hampton? The Sussex County Surrogate's Court is in Newton. We handle the title work and deal directly with the estate's executor or court-appointed administrator, who signs the sale. If no one has been appointed yet, we'll walk you through that step. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group.

Questions from Hampton sellers

Hampton FAQ

Can I still rent my Hampton house short-term?

Under Hampton's 2021 ordinance, a dwelling can't be rented for less than 150 consecutive days. If that changes your plans, we can buy the house for cash as-is.

Do you buy in Crandon Lakes?

Yes. We buy on both the Hampton and Stillwater sides of Crandon Lakes, in current condition.

Do all the heirs have to agree before an inherited house can be sold?

In New Jersey, an inherited house is sold through the estate, so the executor or court-appointed administrator signs the sale. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group, and we'll walk you through getting an administrator appointed if that hasn't happened yet.

How fast can you close on a Hampton house?

Thirty days is typical, and clean files can move faster. If you need more time, we'll write the date you want into the contract.

Are you a local company?

Yes. We're a New Jersey company based in Toms River, and we buy in all 21 counties, including Sussex County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
