Duck Town. Tucked between the Atlantic City Convention Center and the Boardwalk, this historic enclave blends old-world flavor with in-the-moment convenience. Long known as “Little Italy,” it’s where you can grab a legendary sub at White House Subs, catch a late bite at Ducktown Tavern, then stroll to headline events at the iconic Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall. Shoppers gravitate to Tanger Outlets The Walk, while art lovers find a creative hub at the Noyes Arts Garage of Stockton University. For research, programs, and community events, the Atlantic City Free Public Library is a neighborhood staple.
Families appreciate access to the Atlantic City School District, with a range of academic, arts, and athletic offerings citywide, and older students benefit from easy connections across Atlantic City. Commuters value the proximity of NJ Transit’s Atlantic City Rail Terminal, making regional travel straightforward whether you’re headed up the coast or into Atlantic County for work.
Life in Duck Town feels effortlessly walkable: beach days, dining, shopping, and culture are all within minutes, and seasonal festivals and concerts keep the calendar full. Add in diverse dining—from classic red-sauce institutions to modern kitchens—and you have a neighborhood that balances tradition with momentum.
