Quick facts
How much does a multi-family home cost in Elm Park, Staten Island?
The median sale price in Elm Park’s 10302 ZIP code is approximately $670,000 as of mid-2026, up 18.6% year over year , at roughly $368 per square foot. Two-family homes in Elm Park typically trade above that median because buyers underwrite the rental income. Joseph Ranola prices each unit mix off real closed comparable sales rather than a blanket price-per-square-foot number, because a legal two-family with a separate meter and a walk-out basement apartment is not the same asset as a single-family with an illegal conversion — and NYC buyers, appraisers, and lenders all know the difference.
How long does it take to sell a two-family home in Elm Park?
Can I use rental income to qualify for a two-family home in Elm Park?
Yes. Most lenders let a buyer count a portion of the documented rental income from the second unit toward qualifying income on a two-family purchase. With the 30-year fixed mortgage averaging 6.49% for the week ending July 9, 2026 , that rental offset is often exactly what makes an Elm Park two-family affordable when a single-family at the same price is not. Joseph Ranola walks buyers through the math before they write an offer — see the Staten Island and Brooklyn affordability breakdown for the full numbers.
Why is Elm Park good for multi-family investors?
Elm Park sits on Staten Island’s North Shore in ZIP code 10302, minutes from the Bayonne Bridge, the Staten Island Expressway, and the S40/S44 bus corridor to the St. George Ferry. That combination of New Jersey and Manhattan access keeps rental demand steady year-round, and entry prices remain well below Staten Island’s borough-wide median of roughly $734,000. Joseph Ranola also handles multi-family sellers in nearby New Brighton and Ward Hill .
