Lakehurst, Ocean County
What we see in Lakehurst
Lakehurst is a borough of about 2,600 people that is completely surrounded by Manchester Township, one of New Jersey's doughnut towns. It became a winter resort after the Pine Tree Inn opened in 1898 and split from Manchester in 1921. Lake Horicon, a stream-fed cedar-water lake, sits in town, and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst lies just outside the borough in Manchester. Route 70 runs through the borough, and Route 37 begins there.
Selling a house in Lakehurst: what's different here
Next to the base
County Route 547, running north from the borough, parallels the eastern edge of the Lakehurst Maxfield Field section of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, and the 1937 Hindenburg disaster happened at the air station there, in Manchester. Military moves often come on short notice. We can buy a Lakehurst house for cash on a timeline that matches your orders.
Rentals and tenants
In 2020, Lakehurst had about 980 housing units, and its rental vacancy rate of 9.4 percent was far higher than its 1 percent homeowner vacancy rate. Owners of rental houses deal with turnover, tenants, and repairs between leases. We buy occupied or vacant rental homes as-is and can work with existing tenants.
Lake Horicon and older homes
Lake Horicon appears on maps from 1912, and the borough dates to a turn-of-the-century winter resort. Older homes often need updates to wiring, plumbing, and heating that buyers' inspectors flag. We buy older Lakehurst homes without asking you to make those repairs first.

Questions from Lakehurst sellers
Lakehurst FAQ
I'm being reassigned from the base. Can you close quickly?
Yes. We pay cash and can set a closing date that fits your move, without waiting on a buyer's mortgage.
Lakehurst is surrounded by Manchester. Do you buy in both?
Yes. We buy homes in Lakehurst Borough and in the surrounding Manchester Township, each in its 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 Lakehurst 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 Ocean County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
