Marven Gardens Historic District

Marven Gardens was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. Famous (though misspelled as Marvin Gardens) as a coveted landing spot on the board game Monopoly, Parker Brothers formally apologized to residents in 1995 for the error. The name is supposedly derived from "Mar" in Margate and "Ven" (as in Ventnor city which borders the neighborhood to the northwest).

This is a neighborhood of homes built primarily during the 1920s and 1930s.

The Marven Gardens neighborhood is bounded by Ventnor Avenue, Brunswick Avenue North, Winchester Avenue and Fredericksburg Avenue North.
