Somers Point is a city in eastern Atlantic County, New Jersey, on the north shore of Great Egg Harbor Bay, immediately across the water from Ocean City. Its roughly 10,500 residents live in a community of about four square miles that is both a working shore town and a gateway to the ocean resorts just over the bridge. The city's history is among the oldest in the region. John Somers, an English immigrant, was the first European settler of what is now Somers Point, purchasing land along Great Egg Harbor Bay in 1693. He operated a ferry across the bay toward Cape May and built the family homestead that still stands as Somers Mansion, now a state historic site overlooking the water. The community that grew around the plantation and ferry became its own borough in 1886, and its position as a port of call on the bay — combined with the rise of nearby Ocean City and Atlantic City — spurred its growth as a residential and business center. Today Somers Point is a compact, dense suburb with a distinctly bayside character. The World War Memorial Bridge, completed in 1933 to replace an earlier span, connects the city to Ocean City's beaches and boardwalk, while the bayfront offers marinas, fishing, and waterfront dining. The Somers Point School District serves students through eighth grade at its two schools, and high school students attend Mainland Regional High School, shared with Linwood and Northfield. The city borders Egg Harbor Township, Longport, and Linwood in Atlantic County, and Ocean City and Upper Township across the county line in Cape May County. Who Somers Point suits: it appeals to buyers who want year-round shore-region living with deep local history, bay access, and a short hop to Ocean City's beaches — often at a more modest price point than the barrier-island towns themselves.
