79 Sherman Place · Jersey City Heights, NJ
Offered at $1,750,000
Sherman
Place
No. 79
A custom-built 1991 home on one of the Heights' most distinctive blocks. Seven bedrooms, five and a half baths, three kitchens, five parking spaces, and a 194-foot lot that sets it apart from everything else in the corridor.
The Location
The Heights is
not downtown.
That's the point.
Jersey City Heights has a different character from the waterfront and the Exchange Place corridor. The streets are tree-lined, the architecture is varied, and the neighborhood has been shaped by decades of community rather than a single wave of development.
Sherman Place itself is a residential block — quiet, well-maintained, and close to the kind of local restaurants, coffee shops, and parks that don't show up in the glossy borough marketing but matter far more in day-to-day life.
The light rail is within walking distance. PATH connections are accessible via the 10-minute drive or bus to Journal Square. Manhattan is thirty minutes on most days. The buyer who wants the city without living inside it will understand immediately why the Heights commands a premium over comparable inventory in neighboring towns.
79 Sherman Place — Jersey City Heights
Architecture
Built in 1991,
when this block
still had room.
Most of what was built in Jersey City Heights in 1991 has been chopped into apartments or sold off floor by floor. 79 Sherman Place has stayed whole — a single ownership, maintained with care, and now available for its next re-imagining.
The exterior reads as contemporary townhouse, with a clean façade, a distinctive blue entry door, and three levels of considered space behind it. Inside, the volume surprises: vaulted ceilings, skylights, and a vertical arrangement that gives each level its own character.
Over 3,000 square feet of living space across three levels, with additional unfinished square footage distributed throughout that gives buyers meaningful room to expand, finish, or configure to their needs. The bones are as solid as anything built in the Heights, and city-approved architectural plans — valued at $20,000 — are included for buyers who want to take it further.

The properties that hold their value longest in Jersey City aren't the ones with the most finishes. They're the ones with the most room — to live, to earn, to adapt.On 79 Sherman Place
Three Kitchens
Not one kitchen.
Three of them.
Each fully equipped.
It's the detail that changes everything about how you think of this property. One kitchen is a home. Three kitchens is a decision: live in one, offset the mortgage from two, or configure the whole building for multi-generational use without ever compromising the primary floor.
Each kitchen is equipped with modern appliances and finishes, and each sits within its own coherent living unit — not a conversion, not an afterthought. This was how 79 Sherman Place was designed from the ground up.
At the current asking price, no other single-ownership property in the Heights offers this combination of scale, three full kitchens, and five parking spaces.
Seven Bedrooms
Rooms that
give people
actual space.
Seven bedrooms across three floors is not a renovation project waiting to happen — it's a finished home with room to spare. The primary suite includes sliding glass doors to a private balcony and a walk-in closet. The remaining bedrooms are distributed across levels in a configuration that allows true privacy between units.
For a family that has simply outgrown what the market usually offers at this price — or for a buyer who needs room for extended family — the layout at 79 Sherman Place solves problems that most properties in this range cannot.
Natural light in every room. The kind of space that only reads properly once you've walked through it.
The Property
A lot that
makes sense from
above.
You want to live well and offset your costs.
Occupy the upper floor — the most private level, with the best light, the balcony, and the most generous layout — and rent the lower two units. With three kitchens and separate access, the income potential is real and the building was designed to support it from day one.
At $1,750,000, a buyer who occupies and rents is often carrying far less of the mortgage than the sticker price suggests.
Arrange a showingYou're buying for the long term, not the next cycle.
Five parking spaces in Jersey City. A 194-foot lot with expansion potential. City-approved plans that have already passed the hard part. A 1991 build that is not one of the thousands of conversions that flood the market each year.
The case for holding this for ten or twenty years is different from most of what you'll see listed in Hudson County this season.
Arrange a showingYou need more space than the market usually offers at this price.
Seven bedrooms. Three kitchens. A deck, outdoor space on multiple levels, a walk-in closet, and laundry in the building. For a family that has been circling the $1.5–2M range in Hudson County and leaving disappointed, this property delivers what most of the competition does not.
It requires an in-person visit to understand fully. The numbers only tell part of the story.
Arrange a showingAt $1,750,000 in Jersey City Heights, you are not paying for finishes. You are paying for a 194-foot lot, five parking spaces, and a building that generates income from the day you close.On the asking price
The Opportunity
The Deck & Lot
In Jersey City,
outdoor space
is the luxury.
The deck at 79 Sherman Place is not incidental. It's a proper outdoor room — large enough for a table, chairs, and the kind of summer evening that makes the commute feel worth it.
Below it, the lot runs 194 feet deep. In the Heights, that depth is almost unheard of at this scale. It creates room for the existing parking, a usable backyard, and the potential — backed by city-approved plans — to expand in a direction that most narrow-lot properties never can.
Five parking spaces total: a covered attached garage and four outdoor spots. In a neighborhood where parking is a genuine competitive advantage, this is one of the strongest positions in the borough.

The floor plans, the volume of the rooms, the way the lot opens up at the rear, the quality of light through the skylights, the balcony off the primary bedroom — these are not things that translate cleanly to a photo gallery.
