What does investment property cost in Kensington, Brooklyn in 2026?

Kensington had around 14 multi-family homes for sale in 2026, ranging from roughly $999,000 to $3.7 million, with multi-family listings averaging about 102 days on market. Two-family homes have been posting a median near $1.2 million, up about 6.2% year over year, and cap rates for outer-Brooklyn 2-to-4 family buildings generally run 4.5% to 6.5% depending on condition and rent roll. Kensington sits in ZIP 11218 along the Ocean Parkway corridor, with F and G train access and a deep, durable rental base.

Why is Kensington worth an investor’s attention?

Kensington pairs central-Brooklyn rental demand with a market that is not frantic - that 102-day average time on multi-family stock means a disciplined buyer can underwrite carefully, tour twice, and negotiate instead of overpaying. For sellers, that same patience demands precise pricing and a buyer-ready financial package. Joseph Ranola brings both: the comp data and the income math.

With a full-time focus on Staten Island and Brooklyn, Joseph Ranola reads a rent roll for what it really is, flags rent-stabilization exposure before it becomes a closing problem, and knows which Brooklyn buyers are actually liquid and ready to perform.
