Dongan Hills has 676 two-to-four family buildings, yet PropertyShark publishes no two-family sale price, so an investor needs comparable sales, not a neighborhood median.

PropertyShark does not publish a two-family sale price for Dongan Hills. Its Q3 2026 data shows a blended median of $740,000, up 1.4%, on 7 sales, with condos at $757,000 on 4 sales and houses at $699,000 on 3 sales. Homes.com shows a median of $770,000, up 9%, with no stated window. Three Homes.com listings for two-family houses carried asking prices from $999,900 to $1,425,000, and an asking price is not a sale price. Joseph Ranola builds a two-family valuation from closed comparables on the same block.
PropertyShark counts 676 two-to-four family buildings in Dongan Hills, alongside 1,369 single-family homes, 208 condos and 6 co-ops, out of a stated 2,259 residential total. Two-to-four family homes are about 30% of that total, based on those counts. That is a deep pool for an investor on Staten Island, and the right building depends on legal use, rents and condition.
Parts of Dongan Hills sit in the Special Natural Area District known as NA-1, which also covers Emerson Hill, Todt Hill, Lighthouse Hill and the Central Wetlands Area, under Chapter 5 of the NYC Zoning Resolution. Inside that district, removing trees of 6-inch caliper or more is limited to specific cases, and larger projects need City Planning Commission review before a DOB permit. An investor planning an addition or a site change should confirm the lot’s status with an architect or expediter before closing.
Freddie Mac reported a 30-year fixed rate of 7.18% for the week of November 5, 2026, down from 7.24% the prior week, the third straight weekly decline. A lender’s written quote for a specific loan will differ from the national average, and Joseph Ranola asks every buyer for a current quote before touring. Investor loans usually price above the national average, and a lender must quote one.
Joseph Ranola reads the comparable sales, checks legal use and flood exposure before an offer, and keeps the numbers honest when a neighborhood has only a handful of sales. Joseph Ranola serves every neighborhood across Staten Island and Brooklyn, from Tottenville to Williamsburg.
