Fell in love with Star of the Sea!!
I toured Star of the Sea Apartments while apartment hunting in Long Branch, and honestly—I was blown away. The building is spotless, the renovations are beautiful, and the natural light in the units makes everything feel open and airy.
You can literally see the beach from some of the windows, and it’s just a short walk to the boardwalk, coffee shops, and restaurants. The vibe is calm and coastal but still feels fresh and modern.
The leasing team was super friendly and knowledgeable, and it... really feels like they care about creating a great community here. This place quickly jumped to the top of my list. If you’re looking for a beachside apartment with style and convenience, definitely check this one out!
