2018 Aurora: What will become of it?
Approval to convert the Aurora. Read this!
By Paul Goldfinger, Editor @Blogfinger.net
The Aurora, built in 1884, was a historic hotel with 30 rooms. But Neptune Township has once again dumped on our single family zoning and on our Master Plan, permitting this illegal condominium conversion, and, incidentally, once again, with no significant parking. There is one narrow driveway and a single car garage.
That neighborhood will be negatively impacted, and it will be just another inappropriate cluttered mess to complement the proposed North End plan a few blocks away.
And as for the claim that these 4 condos are “historic,” that is just a lie. There is nothing historic about condominiums in this town. The promo on-line suggests that a prospective buyer “immerse yourself in the rich history of the Aurora.”
There will be nothing historic experienced by buyers of those expensive condominiums even though the sign says “RELIVE HISTORY.”

It is true that the Aurora was a historic hotel, but that all changed when the prior owner turned it into a single family house. He had trouble selling it, but someone would have eventually bought it as a single family home. It would not have been the only large single family in the Grove. Have you seen some of the mansions on Ocean Avenue?
