The Grove, completed in 1980, stands as a prominent fixture in the heart of Garden Grove. This 4-story condominium complex houses 77 units, offering residents a prime location in one of Orange County's most vibrant communities. Situated just steps away from Historic Main Street and Village Green Park, The Grove provides easy access to the city's cultural hub and green spaces. The building's design, while not architecturally remarkable, blends seamlessly with the surrounding urban landscape, prioritizing functionality and comfort for its residents.
Spacious two-bedroom units with modern touches
The Grove offers generously sized two-bedroom, two-bathroom units ranging from 1,202 to 1,265 square feet, with prices typically falling between $500,000 and $539,000. These thoughtfully designed homes feature open floor plans that maximize living space and natural light. Many units boast recent updates, including elegant vinyl flooring throughout and recessed lighting that adds a modern touch to the interiors.
The heart of each home is the kitchen, often upgraded with granite countertops, newer wood shaker cabinet doors, and stainless steel appliances. Some units feature a convenient breakfast bar, perfect for casual dining or entertaining. The living rooms are centered around cozy fireplaces, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A unique feature in many units is the dry bar, adding an extra touch of sophistication for those who enjoy hosting guests.
One of the standout features of The Grove's floor plans is the abundance of outdoor space. Most units come with two private balconies – one off the living room and another accessible from the master bedroom – providing residents with their own slice of the outdoors. These balconies often include additional storage, making them both functional and enjoyable.
The master bedrooms are particularly noteworthy, featuring walk-in closets and ensuite bathrooms. Some units have been updated with walk-in showers, adding a touch of luxury to the daily routine. For added convenience, all units come equipped with in-unit laundry hookups, with many including washers and dryers.
Comfort and convenience in a secure setting
The Grove offers a range of amenities designed to enhance the living experience of its residents. At the center of the community is a sparkling in-ground pool and spa, providing a perfect retreat for relaxation or exercise. The pool area is complemented by changing rooms for added convenience.
Security is a priority at The Grove, with gated underground parking ensuring peace of mind for residents. Each unit is allocated two parking spaces – one in the secure underground garage and another in the outdoor lot. This arrangement is particularly valuable given the sometimes challenging parking situation in the area. For those expecting visitors, ample guest parking is available.
The building is equipped with both elevators and stairs, ensuring easy access to all floors. This feature is particularly beneficial for residents with mobility concerns or those carrying groceries or other heavy items.
Waste management is made simple with a conveniently located trash chute, eliminating the need for residents to transport garbage long distances. The building's common areas, while not recently updated, are well-maintained, contributing to the overall cleanliness and appeal of the property.
The Grove's homeowners association (HOA) covers several essential services, including water, trash removal, and building insurance. This comprehensive coverage allows residents to enjoy a worry-free living experience, focusing on the comforts of their home rather than the logistics of property management.

Convenient access to local and regional transit options
The Grove's central location in Garden Grove provides residents with a variety of transportation options, catering to different needs and preferences. The area's walkability is one of its strongest assets, with many daily necessities and attractions within easy walking distance. This pedestrian-friendly environment allows residents to accomplish many errands and enjoy local amenities without relying on a vehicle.
For those who prefer cycling, the neighborhood offers a moderately bike-friendly infrastructure. While not a cycling paradise, the area does provide opportunities for bike commuting and leisure rides, with some dedicated bike lanes and relatively flat terrain.
Public transportation options, while not extensive, do provide some flexibility for residents. The Euclid-College bus stop is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from The Grove, serving the La Habra - Fountain Valley line. This bus route connects residents to various parts of the city and neighboring areas, offering an alternative to driving for some commutes and outings.
For longer trips or air travel, The Grove is well-positioned near several airports.

For international or cross-country flights, Los Angeles International Airport is accessible within a 45-minute drive, depending on traffic conditions.
The Grove's location also provides relatively easy access to major roadways.

This accessibility is particularly beneficial for residents who commute to other parts of the region for work or leisure.
For those who prefer to drive, The Grove's provision of two parking spaces per unit is a significant advantage.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
