Gardner's Basin in Atlantic City

[Joe S.]

Gardner's Basin is a pocket of Atlantic City in the inlet area. It's away from the Casinos and is not nearly as distressed as most of AC. It features the AC Aquarium, great views of both bay and sea, fishing, charter boats and other activities. The boardwalk is under construction and will extend all the way to the Aquarium.The Kushners (yes, them) own a multi acre plot at the tip of Gardner's Basin but I don't believe they have decided what to do with it. And finally, AC is trying once again to make a comeback...this time with the first Casino since the Revel opening in 2018 (Hard Rock) and Stockton University bringing a campus to AC (also set to open in 2018).

Is anyone else investing in Gardner's Basin or considering it? Could it be a good chance to buy low? Just looking for some opinions form people who know this area. Thanks!

Thanks @Joe S. for the topic.

I have interests in the Gardners basin area for a long time. I have friends who own property there and like the location because of what you have mentioned above. I want to add that there has been proposals to bring in more business to gardners basin. I also know that the boardwalk that is being rebuilt and extended to gardners basin will have security cameras covering the boardwalk and the streets leading to it. An article came out last fall showing that the newly installed cameras on the boardwalk and the ones covering the streets connecting have lowered the crime in said areas. So extending it up to gardners basin is a good play for future events, business, tourism and safety.
