In the past few years, there has been a resurgence in the real estate market as the town center has gradually become more gentrified and as developers have begun various large projects in different areas of the city.
From 2002 onward, Asbury Park has been in the midst of a cultural, political and economic revival led by a burgeoning industry of loc ...
