It is a large town of about 75,000 so some sections are better than others. I believe the north side (08724) section is typically more desirable than the south side (08723). Princeton Ave is kinda in the middle so I am not sure which zip covers it.
A friend of ours just bought a house off Cedar Bridge Ave near Brick Blvd and they love it. Close to the beach, easy access to the Parkway and Rt 70. Very nice area.

I haven't lived in Brick for almost 25 years, but I still visit on occasion. If I recall, the zip code boundaries for the main part of town (not including the Strip) is the Metedeconk River and Forge Pond. Thus Princeton Ave is part of the 08724 side of town.
I agree that the 08724 side of town is more desireable as well, but thats jusy my own biased opinion.
I spent a good deal of my childhood in Brick. It is a blue collar town that has a struggling school system. To be frank, it has turned into Staten Island south. Quite a change from its days when it was known as Bricktucky.
and it was NEVER referred to as Bricktucky until you North Jersey people said it
It has changed a lot- more traffic, more strip malls (empty ones) and very crowded- went to school in Brick as did my children- all have college degrees from great universities and doing well so I guess the schools are what you make of them!
Would I start here again? Probably not- I like Monmouth County much more-
BUT Brick is a good place still to raise a family-
I really like the town of Brick and recenlty almost bought a house there until I found out about the water contamination. I read that the Brick water supply is/was contimanited leading to an increase in Autism and Cancer in many residents. The reason being the Brick Resevoir for which water is supplied to the town was built over an old landfill, and this area is on the state's Superfund site for cleanup. It makes sense that you can only cleanup so much of this sight with there still being potential of soil contamination resurfacing. Is anyone in Brick concerned about the water supply? Why are so many homes for sale in the past couple of years? Is everyone getting sick and moving out of this area??
