Tottenville

The very tip of Staten Island - and of New York State - in ZIP 10307. A small town, historic, waterfront neighborhood with a real Main Street, beaches and a historic park at the edge of the water, and the end of the line calm you can only get out here. Here is what it is actually like to live here.

Living here

The small town at the end of the line.

Tottenville is unlike anywhere else on Staten Island. This is the southernmost point of the island and of New York State, and it feels like it - a genuine small town with a Main Street, historic homes, and a tight knit community that has been here for generations. The housing stock is a real mix: old Victorians and historic single family homes alongside newer townhouse developments, so buyers get real range on style and price.

The water is everywhere out here. Conference House Park sits at the very tip, where the historic Billop House looks across the water toward New Jersey, and beaches line the edge of the neighborhood. It is quiet, it is calm, and it is the kind of place where people know their neighbors. The train starts its run here, and the Outerbridge Crossing to New Jersey is minutes away.

Market snapshot

What Tottenville homes are doing

Tottenville is a distinctive, steady market, with a housing mix that runs wider than most South Shore neighborhoods. Most homes typically trade between about $550,000 and $850,000, with the number set by lot size, square footage, updates, whether the home is a historic single family or a newer townhouse, and how close you are to the water. Larger detached and prime waterfront adjacent homes sell above that range. Because the neighborhood's small town character and value draw steady interest, well priced, well presented homes here tend to move.

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