Todt Hill is the highest-elevation residential neighborhood in New York City at roughly 410 feet, anchored by Staten Island Academy and protected estate lots inside ZIP 10314 and adjacent enclaves. The trailing twelve-month median closed-sale price on Todt Hill in 2026 is running around $2.05 million, with year-over-year appreciation in the 28% to 36% range and days-on-market typically 120 to 143 days. The current Freddie Mac 30-year fixed mortgage rate sits at 6.36% as of mid-May 2026, which directly shapes the carry math for any leveraged Todt Hill investment thesis. Entry-level stock here trades $700,000 to $1.2 million while top-tier custom estates with harbor views clear $2.5 million to north of $5 million. Joseph Ranola underwrites these deals with a hold-period model, not a comp-spread guess.
Joseph Ranola has nearly a decade of full-time NYC real estate experience and represents both ends of the Todt Hill investment trade. On the buy side, Joseph Ranola sources off-market estate inventory through long-standing relationships with Todt Hill homeowners, attorneys, and family offices. On the sell side, Joseph Ranola positions luxury Todt Hill homes for the slow, high-conviction buyer pool that drives this market, not the volume-driven listings that get reduced after 90 days. With $10M+ listed in 2026 so far across Staten Island and Brooklyn, the Bridge and Boro Team has the active pipeline to surface Todt Hill comps that never hit the public MLS.
Investment property on Todt Hill is rarely a flip play. It is a long-hold, low-supply, high-floor asset where the buyer profile is a doctor, business owner, attorney, or executive who wants a generational SI estate. Joseph Ranola underwrites carrying costs, capital improvement budgets, and rental yield ceilings before recommending an offer price. That is the difference between a generalist agent and one who actually works investment files for a living.
“Working with Joe is such a great experience. He is professional, helpful, and makes the whole process so easy and stress-free. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell!” — Ashley Sicuranza, verified Google review.

Valuing Todt Hill investment property in 2026 requires three inputs: trailing 12-month median sale price ($2.05M), comparable estate-grade sales adjusted for view and lot size, and a stress-tested debt service ratio at the current 6.36% 30-year fixed mortgage rate. Generalist appraisals miss the view premium and the bespoke architectural premium that drive Todt Hill clearing prices. Joseph Ranola builds a property-specific underwriting model and walks every Todt Hill seller and buyer through it line by line. Request a Todt Hill investment underwriting call.
Sell when your hold-period yield falls below your cost of capital, or when a comparable property within 1.5 miles trades above your current basis plus a 20% premium. Hold when the estate has not been improved in five-plus years and the capital improvement budget would lift sale price above the cost of capital plus a 10% cushion. Joseph Ranola runs this calc for every Todt Hill seller before listing. For broader Staten Island agent guidance, see the best realtor Staten Island pillar page.
Todt Hill investment property is a low-volume, low-turnover, view-premium asset class.
