700 Grove Street Guide: Toll Brothers Condos at the Jersey City-Hoboken Border
700 Grove Street, Jersey City, NJ 07310. Toll Brothers’ 231-home building at the Hoboken line, where parking usually comes with the home.
700 Grove is the border building that solves the parking problem: a 2008 Toll Brothers condominium of 231 homes on the stretch of Grove Street between 18th Street and Observer Highway, on the Jersey City side of the Hoboken line. Recent listings here consistently show an indoor garage space carried with the home within the maintenance, and that single fact, rare on either side of the border, anchors the building’s value case. Add a 24-hour doorman, a landscaped courtyard, and a shuttle toward the Hoboken PATH, and you have the practical package that keeps this building on commuter shortlists.

What 700 Grove is like to live in
Border living with the edges sanded off. The address is Jersey City, the daily life leans Hoboken: the Terminal commute, the southwest Hoboken parks and restaurants a few blocks east, and the light rail at 2nd Street. The building itself runs on the essentials done well: a staffed door around the clock, a courtyard that functions as the shared backyard, and the garage downstairs that means the car stops being a daily negotiation. Depending on the residence, exposures run from the quiet courtyard to south-facing skyline views up top.
The homes that set the price
South light and the view line first: the homes that clear the neighboring rooflines toward the skyline carry the premium, and the courtyard-facing homes trade on quiet. After that, the practical ledger decides. A home whose maintenance carries the parking space prices differently from anything nearby that rents parking separately, and buyers underwrite that difference quickly once it is shown to them in monthly terms. Renovation level matters increasingly as original 2008 finishes age.
Sales context
I have closed inside the building: unit 10N at $683,000 in 2021, a sale where I represented the buyer, documented on the Track Record page. That file gets priced against the border market the building actually lives in: the northern Downtown comps at Zephyr Lofts and Gulls Cove, where I have closed two homes, and southwest Hoboken’s closed history around the Upper Grand, where I have closed four between $810,000 and $1,070,000. The recurring question here is Hoboken-versus-border value, and the closed spread, not the asking spread, answers it. Every closing behind that file is public record.
What buyers should know
Get the parking terms in writing: which space, whether it is within the maintenance, and what happens if you need a second car. Confirm the shuttle’s current schedule with the association rather than assuming it, and walk the light rail route once at commute hour. Check the flood zone status and insurance picture as part of diligence, standard practice for this low-lying corridor. And compare the true monthly against an equivalent Hoboken home with rented parking; that comparison is usually where this building wins.
What sellers should know
Lead with the monthly math. Your buyer is cross-shopping southwest Hoboken and northern Downtown, and the included parking plus the doorman is a combination most of the alternatives cannot match at the price. Photograph the courtyard and the view if you have one, state the shuttle and the light rail walk plainly, and price from the border corridor’s closed sales. Homes here that frame the value case clearly get their buyer early; homes priced as if the address were mid-Hoboken wait.
