The highest point on the Eastern Seaboard south of Maine, and Staten Island's most prestigious address - large estates on wooded lots, tucked away private streets, the Greenbelt at your back, and Richmond County Country Club up the road. Here is what it is actually like to live here.
Todt Hill sits at the top of Staten Island, literally - it is the highest natural point on the Eastern Seaboard south of Maine. That elevation shaped everything about it. The streets wind up through the woods, the lots run large, and the homes range from grand mid century estates to sprawling custom builds set well back behind trees and gates.
This is where buyers go on the island when they want space, privacy, and a real sense of arrival. Homes are large and often unique, neighbors are far enough apart to feel private, and the whole neighborhood is wrapped in green - the Greenbelt on one side, Richmond County Country Club nearby, and mature woods everywhere you look.
Grand custom homes and mid century estates on some of the largest residential lots anywhere in New York City.
At roughly 400 feet, Todt Hill is the highest natural elevation on the Eastern Seaboard south of Maine.
Thousands of acres of protected woods and trails border the neighborhood - a private backyard of forest.
The island's historic private golf and social club sits at the edge of the neighborhood.
The Staten Island Expressway is a short trip down the hill, connecting to the Verrazzano and the rest of the borough.
Winding, low traffic streets and deep setbacks give Todt Hill a seclusion that is rare inside the city.
Todt Hill is the top of the Staten Island market. Homes here generally trade from about $900,000 to $3,000,000 and up, with the number set by the size of the estate, the lot, the level of finish, and the views. Grand custom homes on large parcels can sell well above that range. Because these homes are large and often one of a kind, pricing is far less about a formula and far more about the specific property and the handful of comparable sales that actually apply.
Those are ranges, not your number. The only way to know what a specific Todt Hill home is worth today is a real read on the exact house, its lot, and the most recent estate sales nearby.
