Want a vacation home that’s not too far from home? Most people think of a vacation home as one somewhere in the Caribbean surrounded by white sands and clear water.

While Florida and California may be the first places to pop up as the perfect vacation spot, no other area was more researched (in the past 12 months) than Ocean City, N.J. Homes generally are more expensive in Ocean City than in nearby North Wildwood, with a current median asking price of $525,000, which makes it the highest but most wanted of all popular vacation neighborhoods.
