Living here

The South Shore built for getting to work.

Eltingville is where a lot of Staten Island commuters choose to live, because nowhere else on the South Shore makes the trip to Manhattan this easy. The Eltingville Transit Center is a major express bus hub, and there is an SIR station a short hop away, so you can leave the car home and still make the office. The housing stock is family real estate - single family detached, plenty of semi attached, and some two family homes - on tidy blocks where people put down roots.

Daily life runs along Amboy Road and Richmond Avenue, a busy stretch of shopping, delis, restaurants, and every errand you need without a long drive. Wolfe's Pond Park is close for green space, the Korean War Veterans Parkway is right there when you do want the car, and the schools keep families here for the long haul. It is convenient, it is busy in the good way, and it stays in demand.

Market snapshot

What Eltingville homes are doing

Eltingville is a steady, driven by demand market, powered by buyers who want that commute and those errands close to home. Most single family homes typically trade between about $600,000 and $850,000, with the number set by lot size, square footage, updates, and whether the home is detached or semi attached. Larger detached homes and legal two family properties sell above that range, while semi attached homes often come in lower. Because family and commuter buyers compete for the good ones, well priced, well presented homes here tend to move quickly.

Those are ranges, not your number. The only way to know what a specific Eltingville home is worth today is a real read on the exact house and the most recent sales on its block.
