みなさん、こんにちは♪ 一級建築士・宅建士で、港区で子育て中のママ、岡崎愛です。
今日は、私が普段からプライベートでもお友達のおうちやパーティールームによくお邪魔している、大好きな「芝浦アイランド グローヴタワー」へ！ 約2.2億円の素晴らしいお部屋の内見に行ってきました✨
何度も足を運んでいるからこそわかるリアルな魅力と、建築・不動産のプロとしての視点、そして気になる最新の周辺環境をたっぷりレポートします！
🟢気になる最新の小学校学区事情
いま芝浦エリアで家探しをしているファミリーにとって、一番のニュースですよね。 児童数急増のため、令和7年4月入学者からグローヴタワーの学区は「芝浜小」から「芝浦小学校」に変更になりました。
「新設の芝浜小がよかったな…」という声も聞こえてきそうですが、実はグローヴタワーに住むなら、これはむしろプラス！
・通学距離が近い！（ケープタワー等に比べて駅寄りのグローヴからは、実は芝浦小の方が近くて通いやすいんです）
・伝統と充実の設備！（広い校庭があり、体育館やプールが1階にあって動線も抜群です）
通勤・通学の快適さを最優先するなら、やっぱりグローヴの立地は頭一つ抜けていますね。
🟢「目の前」で完結する神がかった子育てインフラ
一歩外に出ると、本当に感動するレベルで何でも揃っています。
・学童・保育園・公園が目の前！
・児童館「あいぷら」もすぐ近く！
・アイランド内に「病児保育園」やクリニックもあり！
（子どもが急に発熱したとき、敷地内で預かってもらえる安心感は本当にありがたいですよね…涙）
・24時間スーパー（ピーコック）も目の前！
敷地内の芝生エリアはしっかり敷居で囲まれているので、小さな子が道路に飛び出す心配もありません。パーティールームやBBQエリアで大人がご飯を食べつつ、隣の芝生で子どもたちが走り回る姿を見守る……そんな最高の日常が叶います。
🟢建築士目線で見る！建物の安心感と防犯性
グローヴタワーは、鹿島建設の設計・施工による非常に強固な「耐震構造」。 四角くどっしりとした安定感のあるフォルムで、地下深くまで国内最大級の大型杭が打ち込まれています。
また、25階以上は中央が吹き抜けになった「ロの字型（センターボイド構造）」の外廊下を採用しています。（最上階省く） 外部からの視線を遮りながらも住人同士の目が自然と届くので、タワマンの外廊下としては非常に防犯性が高くて安心な設計なんですよ。
🟢出張族のメインホームやセカンドハウスにも
高速の入り口が近く、羽田・成田空港へのアクセスも抜群。
国内外への出張が多いビジネスパーソンにはこれ以上ないロケーションですし、都心のセカンドハウスとしても満足度が非常に高い物件です。
🟢まとめ
学区の変更はありましたが、それを補って余りある立地の強さと周辺インフラの充実度は、やっぱり港区トップクラス！
「実際の住み心地ってどう？」「周辺の他のタワマンと迷っている…」などなど、気になることがあればお気軽に岡崎愛までご相談くださいね。ママ目線＆プロ目線でいつでもお答えします！

[A Mom & Architect's Note] Touring a 220M Yen Apartment! What’s Happening Now at Shibaura Island Grove Tower ✨
Hello everyone! ♪
I’m Ai Okazaki, a first-class registered architect, licensed real estate broker, and a mom raising my kids right here in Minato City!
Today, I visited one of my absolute favorite properties: Shibaura Island Grove Tower!
I actually hang out here a lot in my private time, visiting friends and attending gatherings in the private party rooms, so I already feel so connected to this place (lol).
This time, I went to tour a truly magnificent apartment valued at approximately 220 million JPY! 🌟
Having been here so many times, I’m excited to share my real, firsthand review, combining my professional eyes in architecture/real estate with my practical perspective as a local mom! 👇
🟢 The Latest School District News You Need to Know!
For families searching for a home in the Shibaura area, this is probably the biggest news right now. 🏫
Due to a rapid increase in local students, the designated public school district for Grove Tower has officially changed from Shibahama Elementary to Shibaura Elementary School (starting from the April 2025 school year).
You might think, "Oh no, I really wanted my kids to go to the brand-new Shibahama school..." But actually, if you’re living in Grove Tower, this change is a huge plus! 👍
・The commute is so much closer! (Grove is located closer to the station side, making the walk to Shibaura Elementary shorter and much easier!)
・Wonderful history and amazing facilities! (It has a beautifully wide outdoor schoolyard/playground, and both the gym and swimming pool are located on the first floor!)
If you want to prioritize daily commuting efficiency for both work and school, Grove Tower’s unique location truly stands out from the crowd. ✨
🟢 A "Miracle Location" Where Everything is Right in Front of You!
The moment you step outside the building, you’ll be amazed by how incredibly convenient everything is. It has everything you need! 👶💖
・After-school care, daycares, and parks are right in front of you!
・The "Ai-Pura" youth plaza/community center is just steps away!
・A dedicated "sick-child daycare center" and clinics are right on the island!
(When your child suddenly catches a fever, having a reliable place nearby that can take care of them is such a lifesaver for working parents... 😭🙏)
・A 24-hour supermarket (Peacock Store) is right outside!
The private lawn area on the property is completely enclosed by secure fencing, so you never have to worry about little ones running out into the street. 🏃♂️💨
Picture this: the grown-ups enjoying a nice meal together in the party room or barbecue area, while watching the kids run around happily on the green lawn right next door... It truly offers the ultimate everyday lifestyle. 🌈
🟢 An Architect's View: Structural Safety & Peace of Mind
Let's talk a little bit about the building's design from an architect's perspective! 📐
Grove Tower was engineered and constructed by the renowned Kajima Corporation, utilizing an incredibly strong earthquake-resistant structure. It has a perfectly balanced, solid square silhouette, with some of Japan's largest foundation piles driven deep into the earth. 🏗️
Also, from the 25th floor and above (excluding the very top floors), the building features an open-air atrium with a courtyard-style ("Lo-no-ji") exterior hallway layout.
It perfectly blocks visibility from outside the building while naturally keeping the corridors within sight of other residents. This makes it an incredibly safe and highly secure setup for families! 🔒✨
🟢 Perfect as a Primary Home or a Sophisticated Second Home
The metropolitan expressway entrance is just nearby, and transit to both Haneda and Narita Airports is super convenient. ✈️
It is a dream location for business executives who travel frequently for domestic or international business, and it is also highly satisfying as a relaxing second home in the heart of the city. 🌟
🟢 Summary
Even with the recent school district transition, the structural strength of this location and the amazing wealth of neighborhood infrastructure easily keep this property at the absolute top of the Minato City market! 🏆
"What is it really like to live here?" "I’m having trouble choosing between this and other nearby towers..."
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out to me, Ai Okazaki! I’m always happy to help with both my professional expertise and honest mom perspective! 💌
