Beach Haven West After Hurricane Sandy
There are three main changes taking place in Beach Haven West. They are:
- New Construction
- House Raising
- Bulkhead Improvement
New construction is taking place on nearly every street in Beach Haven West. Many of the original homes that were constructed in the 1950s and 1960s sustained flood damage as a result of Hurricane Sandy. In many cases, these homeowners elected to tear down their storm damaged structures and build a new home or sell their existing lots to make way for new construction. Additionally, many older homes were renovated and raised above the new base flood elevations thus making them more storm ready. Lastly, with so much renovation taking place in Beach Haven West, many homeowners and buyers decided to upgrade their bulkheads in the process. Many of the original bulkheads in Beach Haven West were creosote and begun to show their age. These bulkheads were updated with new vinyl or pressure-treated construction which is far better to withstand the shore environment and add a great deal of value to their homes.
