Randall Manor is mostly single-family, but nearly three in ten of its properties are two-to-four family buildings. That is the slice an investor is shopping, and it trades on a thin, slow market.

Randall Manor is a North Shore neighborhood in ZIP 10301, between Snug Harbor and Silver Lake Park, next to West Brighton and New Brighton. PropertyShark’s housing-stock table lists 1,715 residential properties in Randall Manor: 1,162 single-family homes, 498 two-to-four family properties, 46 condo units and 8 co-op units. The 498 two-to-four family properties, 29% of the stock, are where an income buyer looks.
PropertyShark puts the Randall Manor median sale price at $800,000 for Q2 2026, up 14.3% year over year, on nine sales. In Q1 2026 the median was $749,000 on thirteen sales. Redfin, measuring the three months ending August 2026, puts the median at $817,106, down 8.7% year over year, with a median of 63 days on market and homes selling at 97.2% of list price.
Nine sales in a quarter is too few to call a trend, and the two sources point in opposite directions. What both agree on is the price level: a Randall Manor property trades around $800,000, and it takes roughly two months to sell. For an investor, 63 days on market and 97.2% of list mean there is room to negotiate that does not exist in faster Brooklyn neighborhoods.
It can be, but only if the numbers work at today’s borrowing cost. Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey put the 30-year fixed rate at 7.28% for the week of October 1, 2026, up from 7.03% the week before and 6.34% a year earlier. The 15-year fixed averaged 6.60%. At 7.28%, a buyer financing 75% of an $800,000 two-family carries roughly $4,100 a month in principal and interest before taxes and insurance, so rent from the second unit is what makes the purchase pencil out. Joseph Ranola runs the rent, tax and insurance numbers on each specific building before an investor writes an offer, using signed leases where they exist rather than asking rents.
Mostly not. PropertyShark counts 56 of Randall Manor’s 1,668 residential buildings in a flood zone and 154 in a hurricane evacuation zone. The exposed buildings sit closer to the Kill Van Kull side of the neighborhood. Flood insurance can turn a cash-flowing rental into a loss, so Joseph Ranola checks the FEMA map and an insurance quote on each address before an investor commits.
An investor should check four things before signing a contract on a Randall Manor two-family: that the certificate of occupancy matches the number of units being rented, that there are no open DOB violations or permits, what the existing leases actually say, and whether the tenant in place pays on time. An illegal basement or attic unit is not income a lender will count and can become a liability at resale. Joseph Ranola is a real estate broker, not an attorney or expediter, and building-record and lease review belongs with the buyer’s lawyer.

Investors hire Joseph Ranola because the North Shore two-family market is small, slow and mispriced in both directions, and the edge comes from knowing which listings are legal, which are overpriced and which sellers will negotiate. One repeat investor client described the experience:
“I buy & sell properties frequently. Joseph Ranola is great to work with. I have used his firm on a few projects. The team is eager to help & always available.” — Joe Obrien, verified Google review
