What was once vacant land for two decades is now transforming into a vibrant community of luxury homes and a private pool club along the scenic Somers Point bayfront.
Scarborough Properties, a respected Marmora-based development company, is behind the creation of Salt House and Paddle Club, two exclusive projects set on four acres bordered by Bay Avenue, Maryland Avenue, and Pleasant Avenue.
According to principal Sean Scarborough, who leads the company with his brothers Todd and Chris, the development will further enhance Somers Point’s appeal as a sought-after yet accessible coastal destination.
“Somers Point is, we believe, the preeminent coastal town that is affordable now,” Scarborough shared. “When it comes to living, entertainment, and attractions, Somers Point keeps getting better.”
Positioned at the heart of historic Bay Avenue, the neighborhood blends waterfront homes with vibrant restaurants, marinas, and nightlife. Salt House homeowners will be just steps away from ten dining destinations, and only minutes from Ocean City, Longport, Margate, Ventnor, and Atlantic City.
Adjacent to Harbour Cove Marina, also owned by Scarborough Properties. The community offers residents and Paddle Club members priority access to marina amenities, combining lifestyle and convenience for an exceptional Jersey Shore experience.
About Salt House
The Salt House community features 24 single-family, semi-custom homes with four distinct models, priced from $1,259,000. Completion is expected by April 2026.
Each residence includes four bedrooms, 3½ bathrooms, and approximately 2,200 square feet of living space, plus a 300-square-foot third-floor deck. Designed for modern living, every home includes a garage, four private parking spaces, and optional upgrades such as an elevator, fireplace, or custom outdoor kitchen.
“Single-family living with off-street parking is how people want to live,” Scarborough said, emphasizing the community’s focus on comfort and design.
Introducing the Paddle Club
Homeowners will enjoy a complimentary one-year membership to the Paddle Club, an upscale, family-friendly retreat where luxury meets leisure. Opening in May 2026, the club features two pools, two spas, private cabanas, and shaded lounges, alongside a dedicated children’s zone.
The onsite restaurant and bar will seat 136 guests, offering a refined space to dine and socialize. As Scarborough noted, “It’s upscale, but family-oriented.”
The Paddle Club promises “an exclusive escape for families and friends,” where members can unwind or gather for a season of relaxation, connection, and indulgence.
A Vision Brought to Life
After years of vacancy, the four-acre site is finally being revitalized. Formerly a trailer park and later a boat storage yard, it’s now a cornerstone of Somers Point’s renewal.
Scarborough credited city officials for their support, saying, “The local government has been excellent—thoughtful, supportive, and quick to act. We’re very grateful.”
