Living here

Hillside Victorians with a harbor view.

New Brighton is where Staten Island keeps some of its best old architecture. The streets climb up from the harbor, and along them sit Victorian and historic homes, many with real views out over New York Harbor. It is one of the more distinctive housing stocks on the island - character, detail, and porches that look like they belong on a different century.

The neighborhood sits right next to Snug Harbor and just west of St. George, so you get the cultural anchor and the short ferry commute together. For buyers who want a home with a story and a view, without leaving the North Shore's connectivity behind, New Brighton is one of the island's real finds.

Market snapshot

What New Brighton homes are doing

New Brighton is a character driven market. Because the housing runs from historic and Victorian homes to older multifamily houses, prices generally fall in a broad range from about $500,000 to $900,000, with the number set by type, size, condition, view, and location on the hill. Larger historic and nicely updated homes with harbor views sell above that. Buyers who want architecture and a view compete for the good ones, so well priced, well presented homes tend to move.

Those are ranges, not your number. The only way to know what a specific New Brighton home is worth today is a real read on the exact property and the most recent sales nearby.
