property age map

The Friends of OCNJ History & Culture are excited to announce the launch of our interactive OCNJ property map. This tool allows you to explore the location, year built, and age of over 13,600 residential and commercial properties, with photos for over 900 of them (and more to come). You can adjust the year-built range, with the default set to properties from 1924 or earlier, which are at least 100 years old. You might be surprised to learn that over 1,300 properties are still standing that are 100 or more years old! We plan to enhance the map over time with new features and photos, and we’ll regularly update the data so you can track changes. For now, enjoy exploring!
