General Overview
Washington Grand is a luxury 55+ condominium community located in the Township of Washington, Bergen County. Built in the early 2000s, this gated mid-rise complex is known for its elegant residences, impressive amenity offerings, and resort-style feel. With fewer than 100 residences, Washington Grand delivers a refined, private living experience for active adults seeking upscale, low-maintenance living.
Homes at Washington Grand are generously sized, ranging from approximately 1,500 to over 2,000 square feet. Most units include two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and open-concept layouts with hardwood flooring, granite countertops, gourmet kitchens, in-unit laundry, and private balconies or terraces. Many homes offer additional features like dens, fireplaces, or walk-in closets. Each unit includes deeded garage parking and a private storage room. Prices typically range from the low $500,000s to over $700,000, depending on size and upgrades.
Residences & Pricing
Homes here range from comfortable one bedroom flats of about nine hundred ninety five square feet to expansive two bedroom plans that reach sixteen hundred fifty square feet and often include a separate den. Every layout provides an open living and dining area, an eat-in kitchen finished in granite or solid surface counters, and a private terrace or deck that extends the living space outdoors. Hardwood floors, in-unit laundry, and generous walk-in closets are standard features. Recent sales have started in the low four hundreds for well-kept one bedroom homes and reached the mid six hundreds for fully updated corner two bedroom residences with courtyard views.
Monthly Fees & Inclusions
Homeowners Association dues fall in the five hundred twenty to five hundred forty five dollar range, depending on unit size. That single payment covers cold water, common area heating and cooling, exterior upkeep, snow removal, landscaping, pool and clubhouse access, as well as one deeded garage space and a private storage room. Owners pay only their interior electric, gas, and optional cable or internet.
Location & Lifestyle Highlights
Although the address feels tucked away, Washington Grand enjoys quick connections in every direction. The Garden State Parkway entrance lies a few blocks east, making Paramus, Montvale, and Ridgewood easy weekend outings. The Fashion Center Paramus and Westfield Garden State Plaza sit within a fifteen minute drive, while Hackensack Meridian Pascack Valley Medical Center and Valley Hospital’s Paramus campus provide nearby health care. For commuters or theater lovers, NJ Transit’s express bus to Midtown Manhattan stops on Ridgewood Road, letting residents enjoy the city without hunting for parking. Daily life inside the community centers on poolside chats, exercise classes, and evening socials in the ballroom, all steps from an elevator ride home.
Rules & Practical Considerations
At least one resident must be fifty-five years of age; additional occupants must be nineteen or older, a detail that allows visiting adult children or caregivers but preserves the mature atmosphere. Dogs and cats are not allowed, though service animals that meet federal guidelines are accepted. Short term rentals and vacation style stays are prohibited, and any long lease requires board permission. Conventional condominium financing is readily available, with twenty percent down payment common. Each home owns one indoor garage space beside its private storage room, and wide hallways plus elevator access ensure every floor is reachable without stairs.
