Robin Quivers House: Inside Her $3.4M Long Beach Island Home

While many New York media stars head to the Hamptons, Howard Stern’s longtime co-host Robin Quivers put her money into the Jersey Shore. In July 2013 she paid $3,388,800 for a seven-bedroom bayside home on Long Beach Island, the same summer she sold her Manhattan condo and put her smaller Beach Haven house on the market.

Based on the most recent public property records, that bayside house is still her home. The move came at a turning point. Quivers had spent more than a year away from the studio fighting cancer, and the Shore became the place she recovered and the base she has kept since.

Here is what is on record about her homes, past and present, and how her Shore life came together.

Who Is Robin Quivers?

Robin Quivers was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on August 8, 1952. She earned a nursing degree from the University of Maryland in 1974, joined the U.S. Air Force as a second lieutenant in 1975 and left as a captain in 1978. She then studied broadcasting and worked her way through small stations in Pennsylvania and Baltimore.

In March 1981 she joined Howard Stern’s morning show at WWDC-FM in Washington, D.C., and has been his co-host ever since, through the show’s years at WNBC and K-Rock and its move to SiriusXM in 2006. The satellite deals made the show one of the most lucrative in radio, and that success helped fund the property moves described below. Her work has been recognized with a place in the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2017.

Two parts of her life shaped the way she lives at home. She went vegan in 2007 and wrote about it in “The Vegucation of Robin: How Real Food Saved My Life”. Then in 2012 she was diagnosed with endometrial cancer and stepped away from the studio for about 17 months.

Robin Quivers House on Long Beach Island

Robin’s current home sits in Long Beach Township, which covers most of the 18-mile barrier island known as LBI. She bought it in July 2013 for $3,388,800, about $260,000 below its $3,649,000 asking price.

Built in 2007, the house has roughly 7,000 square feet, seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms. It sits on the bay side of the island along a canal, so the backyard opens onto the water rather than the ocean beach. Outside there is a pool, a hot tub and a private dock, the kind of setup that makes it a true beach house rather than a city home with a view. Bayside canal lots like this are prized on LBI because owners can keep a boat at the back door and watch sunsets over Barnegat Bay.

The home is large for LBI, where most houses are summer rentals and beach cottages, but it is not a gated compound. That lower-key setting is part of the Shore’s appeal for people who want space and water access without the Hamptons scene.

Detailed room-by-room photos have not been published, so claims about specific appliances or studio equipment found online are not confirmed.

Her First Shore Home: “Amethyst Sea” in Beach Haven

Before the bigger house, Robin owned a smaller place in Beach Haven, the town near the southern end of the island. The house, named “Amethyst Sea,” was built in 2002 and has about 3,500 square feet over two floors, with five bedrooms and five bathrooms.

It faced south onto a lagoon and came with a waterfront patio, a dock, a hot tub and a waterfall pool, plus restaurant-style stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. She listed it in 2013 for about $2.45 million, later cut to $2.299 million, around the time she bought the larger Long Beach Township home. In other words, she swapped one LBI waterfront home for a bigger one a few miles up the island.

Her Staten Island Years

Before Manhattan and the Shore, Robin lived on Staten Island in Todt Hill, a wooded hilltop neighborhood known for large, private homes. In October 2007 she sold a smaller house there, about 1,593 square feet, for $1.2 million.

Her main Staten Island home was a four-bedroom, four-bathroom English Tudor with cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, a limestone fireplace, a heated pool and a sauna. After she made Manhattan her primary residence in 2008, she put the Tudor on the market in 2009 at $2.65 million. By June 2011 the asking price had come down to $1.95 million. A final sale price has not been widely reported.

The Upper West Side Condo

In 2008 Robin moved her main base to Manhattan, closer to the studio, paying $2.469 million for a 1,486-square-foot condo on the Upper West Side with two bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms.

The unit had nine-foot ceilings, hardwood and marble floors, granite counters and a wine refrigerator, with large windows looking over the city, Central Park and the Hudson River. She listed it in July 2013 for $3.15 million, cut the price to $2.95 million, and it went into contract within weeks. The sale closed later in 2013.

Life at the Shore: Recovery and Remote Radio

Robin spent most of 2012 and 2013 in treatment, including surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. During that time she stayed connected to the show from home, which is one reason her Shore house is often described as both a retreat and a work base. Her return in October 2013 made headlines, and she has spoken openly about the cancer’s return in 2016 and ongoing treatment since.

Her vegan diet and focus on recovery fit the quiet pace of the island. After the show began broadcasting remotely during the pandemic, many listeners learned that the co-hosts were working from home setups, and the Shore house became even more central to her daily life.

Why the Jersey Shore Instead of the Hamptons

The choice makes practical sense. LBI is about a two-hour drive from Manhattan, close enough for a New York career, and waterfront homes there have usually cost less than comparable Hamptons properties. The island also has a relaxed, family-beach character rather than a celebrity scene, which suits a broadcaster who keeps her private life quiet.

Robin also isn’t the only well-known name to choose the Shore. Joe Pesci, for example, has owned a home in Lavallette, further north along the coast.
