Blog #7½--The search for Marven Gardens is over!

     Look what I found last Saturday!  My daughter, my friend Cindy, and I were doing the NJ Lighthouse Challenge, and after visiting the Absecon Lighthouse, we decided to go visit Lucy the Elephant in Margate.  Knowing that Marven Gardens was somewhere nearby, I asked the clerk in Lucy's gift shop if he knew how to get to Marven Gardens.  He got out a local map and showed me where it was located, then handed me the map, and off we went in search of Marven Gardens.

     We spent just a scant 20 minutes driving around Marven Gardens (we were on a tight schedule to get to the next lighthouse on the challenge tour) and decided that we couldn't possibly pick a favorite house.  All were just so magnificent and beautiful!  It really was quite a sight to see.  FYI:  currently at about a million dollars, more or slightly less, a home in Marven Gardens is no longer affordable to the middle class.
     Go visit when you get the chance.  Located on West Drive, between Fredricksburg Ave. and North Brunswick Ave., which basically run north/south, and Ventnor Ave. and Winchester Ave., which mostly run east/west, Marven Gardens is at the very edge where Margate City and Ventnor City meet.
