Most of Spring Lake Heights is residential, with a large condominium complex surrounding the southbound direction on Route&nbsp;71. The highway continues northward, intersecting with [[County Route 524 (New Jersey)|CR&nbsp;524]] (Alliare Road) and passes Marucci Park. Route&nbsp;71 intersects with [[County Route 30 (Monmouth County, New Jersey)|CR&nbsp;30]] (Eighteenth Avenue), where the highway enters the [[Belmar, New Jersey|Belmar]] community of [[West Belmar, New Jersey|West Belmar]]. After crossing the intersection with [[County Route 18 (Monmouth County, New Jersey)|CR&nbsp;18]] (Sixteenth Avenue), Route&nbsp;71 enters the downtown portion of Belmar, intersecting with Route&nbsp;35 (River Road). There, Route&nbsp;35/Route&nbsp;71 runs concurrently through Belmar, passing the local [[Belmar (NJT station)|Belmar train station]]. At the intersection with Eighth Avenue, Route&nbsp;71 turns off to the east and crosses parallel to Route&nbsp;35 over the [[Shark River (New Jersey)|Shark River]] to the community of [[Avon-by-the-Sea, New Jersey|Avon-by-the-Sea]], becoming Main Street. There, the two routes continue to parallel, with Route&nbsp;71 becoming a divided one-way street through Avon-by-the-Sea. The route continues northward through the residential seashore community, crossing the Sylvan Creek and entering [[Bradley Beach, New Jersey|Bradley Beach]]. Through Bradley Beach, Route&nbsp;71 intersects with [[County Route 2 (Monmouth County, New Jersey)|CR&nbsp;2]] (Brinley Avenue), which serves access to the [[Bradley Beach (NJT station)|Bradley Beach train station]]. The highway continues northward through the residential district, and enters [[Neptune Township, New Jersey|Neptune Township]]. There, Route&nbsp;71 intersects with the eastern terminus of the cross-state [[New Jersey Route 33|Route&nbsp;]] at Corlies Avenue before entering the large city of [[Asbury Park, New Jersey|Asbury Park]].<ref name="bing" />

[[File:New Jersey State Route 71 at Monmouth University.jpg|left|thumb|Route&nbsp;71 at Monmouth University in West Long Branch]]
Through Asbury Park, Route&nbsp;71 intersects with several local streets at traffic lights as Main Street. The route also serves as the terminus of both [[County Route 16 (Monmouth County, New Jersey)|CR&nbsp;16]] and [[County Route 18 (Monmouth County, New Jersey)|CR&nbsp;18]]. After crossing through Sunset Park, Route&nbsp;71 approaches [[Deal Lake]], where the highway turns to the east along Deal Lake Drive. Route&nbsp;71's right-of-way on Main Street becomes [[County Route 15 (Monmouth County, New Jersey)|CR&nbsp;15]] and Route&nbsp;71 continues through the lakeshore community as a two-lane arterial. Soon after, Route&nbsp;71 turns on Park Avenue, crosses over Deal Lake and enters [[Loch Arbour, New Jersey|Loch Arbour]]. However, the highway heads northward into the community of [[Allenhurst, New Jersey|Allenhurst]] soon after. Route&nbsp;71, now known as Norwood Avenue, crosses out of Allenhurst after an intersection with Cedar Avenue, entering the community of [[Deal, New Jersey|Deal]]. Before the intersection with Roseld Avenue, the highway becomes a divided one with a center median. The route continues this way through the residential portions of Deal, crossing into [[Ocean Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey|Ocean Township]]. There, the route comes back together, crossing over the North Jersey Coast Line once again near the [[Elberon (NJT station)|Elberon train station]]. Route&nbsp;71 continues along the Ocean Township–[[Long Branch, New Jersey|Long Branch]] border until entering the community of [[West Long Branch, New Jersey|West Long Branch]] near Whale Pond Brook. At that point, Route&nbsp;71 serves as the main road to access [[Monmouth University]]. At the intersection with Cedar Avenue, Norwood Avenue ends, and Route&nbsp;71 northbound turns westward along Cedar. The route crosses through Monmouth University and enters the residential portions of West Long Branch, intersecting with CR&nbsp;15 and [[County Route 32 (Monmouth County, New Jersey)|CR&nbsp;32]] within a mile of each other. At the intersection with CR&nbsp;15, Route&nbsp;71 turns to the northwest through a residential area.<ref name="bing" />

[[File:Eatontown, NJ - Route 71 at 35.jpg|right|thumb|Northern terminus of Route&nbsp;71 at Route&nbsp;35 in Eatontown (Route&nbsp;71 southbound ahead)]]
Route&nbsp;71 parallels the [[Glenwood Cemetery West Long Branch|Glenwood Cemetery]] before intersecting with [[New Jersey Route 36|Route&nbsp;36]] in West Long Branch. Here, Route&nbsp;71 continues northwestward on Monmouth Road through large commercial complexes and the local country club. The highway continues northward into [[Eatontown, New Jersey|Eatontown]], where it enters a local residential area and intersects with [[County Route 547 (New Jersey)|CR&nbsp;547]] (Eatontown Boulevard), which become concurrent. Route&nbsp;71 and CR&nbsp;547 enter downtown Eatontown as Broad Street, heading westward as CR&nbsp;547 splits at Wyckoff Road. The highway continues into the commercial district of Eatontown, where it intersects [[New Jersey Route 35|Route&nbsp;35]] once again but Route&nbsp;71 terminates.<ref name="bing" />
