Tiny house in Bogota, New Jersey lists for $499,000 on corner lot

A tiny house on West Grove Street in Bogota landed on the market with a $499,000 ask that looks less like a size calculation than a bet on place. The one-bedroom, one-bathroom home sits on a corner lot in Bergen County, and the listing makes no effort to sell square footage because the real pitch is location, commuter access, and scarce inventory.

The property was listed on June 19 at $499,000 and was described as rebuilt three years ago, with stainless steel appliances and no HOA restrictions or fees. It is also being presented as move-in ready, which matters in a market where buyers often have to trade off between condition, size, and access to New York City. NJMLS identified the home as MLS #26019187 and confirmed the 1-bed, 1-bath residential listing at that price.

What makes the number easier to understand is the market around it. Bogota’s 07603 ZIP code showed a median listing price of $654,999 as of March 2026, while Bergen County’s median listing price sat at $795,000 in May 2026, with another countywide Realtor.com page showing $799,000. Zillow put Bogota’s average home value at $619,328 as of May 31. Against those figures, the $499,000 ask is not cheap, but it is below both the local ZIP-code median and the broader county medians.

Inventory is doing just as much work as price. Bergen County had 1,986 active listings in May, while Bogota’s ZIP code had only nine homes for sale in one third-party aggregation in June. In a borough with just 0.8 square miles of land and a 2020 census population of 8,778, a tiny house can become a proxy for something much bigger: a foothold in a tight commuter suburb with a Bergen County address.

That is the real question behind this listing. Is a buyer paying for the tiny-house lifestyle, for the land under the house, or for the ZIP-code scarcity that makes even a small rebuilt home feel rare? The bus access to Port Authority Bus Terminal, with trips around 24 minutes from Bogota-area stops, gives the answer its commuter edge. In this corner of North Jersey, tiny did not price itself like a novelty. It priced itself like a shortcut to a hard-to-get address.
