Living here

The Staten Island neighborhood with a real main street.

New Dorp is one of the few places on the island where you can live without a car for the little things. The heart of it is New Dorp Lane - a genuine main street lined with restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and shops that draws people from all over the East Shore. Around it sits a walkable mix of single family and two family homes, which makes it a favorite for first time buyers, families, and anyone who wants convenience built into daily life.

And then there is the water. New Dorp Beach and its boardwalk are minutes away, and Miller Field gives the neighborhood hundreds of acres of open fields and trails right on the edge of the residential streets. It is lively, family friendly, and close to just about everything.

New Dorp is a steady, convenience driven market with strong first time and family demand. Most homes trade in a broad range from about $550,000 to $800,000, with the number set by whether it is single or two family, square footage, updates, and how close you are to New Dorp Lane and the train. Well kept two family homes and larger detached properties sell at the top of that range. Because so many buyers want the walkability, well priced, well presented homes here tend to move.

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