PropertyShark counts 280 units in two-to-four family buildings, about 10% of the neighborhood’s 2,833 residential units. A buyer or seller of a two-family here is working in a small pool, so Joseph Ranola builds the price from the rent roll and a wider comparable set.

What does a Todt Hill home cost in 2026?

PropertyShark reports a Todt Hill median of about $1,050,000 for Q3 2026, up 3.4%, on only six sales. Redfin, measuring August 2026, reports $1,284,380, up 37.1%, on eight sales with a 149-day median time on market. Both samples are thin, so neither year-over-year figure is a trend.

Rarely. HomeFirst allows one-to-four family purchases when the buyer occupies one unit, but the Richmond County price caps are $846,000 for two units and $1,025,000 for three, effective December 1, 2025, and both Todt Hill medians exceed them.
