The Jersey Shore is home to a lot of talent, from musicians to actors to athletes and more. Being locals, we completely understand why celebrities would choose to reside at the Shore: easy access to major cities like New York and Philadelphia, the opportunity to find houses (well, mansions) that are secluded on their large pieces of property while still being part of a community, and then there’s that little thing we call the beach.
