Oakhurst is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Ocean Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey, located just inland from the Atlantic coast in central New Jersey. It is one of three main neighborhoods that make up Ocean Township, along with Wanamassa and Wayside; the township deliberately has no single downtown, instead developing as a collection of established residential communities. Oakhurst is the second most populated of the three, with roughly 4,000 residents in the 2020 census, and it carries the township's 07755 ZIP code. The community grew substantially during the mid-twentieth century, particularly in the 1970s, when new family-oriented developments expanded Ocean Township's population to more than 27,000 residents. That growth shaped Oakhurst into a mature, tree-lined suburban area with a strong base of single-family homes, schools, and neighborhood services. Oakhurst is served by the Township of Ocean School District, whose administrative offices are located within the community. The district operates the local elementary schools—including the Oakhurst school—and serves students through the secondary level within the township, making education a central part of Oakhurst's family-oriented identity. The community's appeal rests heavily on its location. Oakhurst sits minutes from the Jersey Shore towns of Asbury Park, Long Branch, and Deal, giving residents ready access to beaches, boardwalks, dining, and entertainment, while the community itself remains quiet and residential. Major roadways such as Route 35 and the Garden State Parkway provide access to the wider Monmouth County region and the New York metropolitan area. For those seeking established suburban living with coastal access, Oakhurst represents a practical and appealing choice within Ocean Township.
