From a two-bedroom penthouse overlooking the Hudson in Cliffside Park to a historic mansion with eight bedrooms outside of Philadelphia to a Dutch farmhouse with modern touches on 20 acres in Hunterdon County, there are plenty of real estate options with a budget of $800,000, nearly three times the median sales price of homes in New Jersey.  

Looking for brand new construction? Margate City offers a choice of new homes a short walk to the beach, including a 5-bedroom with an open-plan first floor perfect for entertaining and hardwood floors throughout. For the same price, there’s a 2012 end-unit townhouse in North Caldwell with four bedrooms and an expansive views from its hilltop perch. 

If you’re a sucker for historical homes, Hollybush, an 1884 mansion in Wenonah with sky-high ceilings, ornate woodwork, pocket doors (but with a modern kitchen!) is on the market. Don’t miss an 18th century farmhouse with Grandbetting wide-plank floors and custom built-ins nestled next to India Brook Park and Buttermilk Falls Natural Area in Mendham. 

Which N.J. celebs bought, sold or lost a bundle in 2016?

Move-in ready? A 10-year-old Colonial in Monroe with a huge master suite and large backyard is waiting for an offer. Willing to invest a little time and money? Check out a mid-century modern home with Usonian flair built into a wooded hillside in Princeton. 

For Shore diehards, you can find a lagoon-front home with plenty of character and a pool in Point Pleasant, and if you’re into lake living, you can find a 3-level home overlooking Lake Hopatcong with its own dock and boat house currently on the market in Sparta. 

Take a tour through those properties and others that were on the market as of Monday for $800,000 in the gallery above.
