What is the Huguenot, Staten Island housing market doing in 2026?
As of late May 2026, Huguenot has roughly 17 active single-family listings and 7 active multi-family listings. The 12-month median sale price in Huguenot sits near $735,000, and homes are selling in an average of 36 days on market — well under the 54-day national average. New construction and larger detached homes regularly clear $900,000, while semi-attached and townhouse-style homes start near $525,000. For a relocating buyer, that price band is the entire reason Huguenot lands on top-of-list south-shore searches — it is materially cheaper than Brooklyn brownstone neighborhoods at comparable square footage, and the inventory is newer.
Why do out-of-borough buyers choose Huguenot specifically?
Huguenot (ZIP 10312) is a south-shore Staten Island neighborhood with newer construction, larger lots, lower property taxes than equivalent Brooklyn properties, and direct express-bus access to Manhattan via the X1 and X8 lines. The neighborhood feeds into the Tottenville High School zone, sits five minutes from Wolfe’s Pond Park and the south-shore beachfront, and offers the kind of detached single-family inventory that does not exist in most of Brooklyn at this price point. Buyers relocating from Park Slope, Williamsburg, or Cobble Hill often end up with double the square footage and a private driveway for the same monthly carrying cost.
How does Joseph Ranola help relocating buyers without wasting their time?
Joseph Ranola runs a pre-trip prep call for every relocating buyer — a 30-to-45 minute video meeting that locks down price, commute, school priorities, and lifestyle fit before any showings are scheduled. Joseph then sends a curated short-list of Huguenot listings with side-by-side commute times, tax-bill estimates, and a school-zone overlay, so when the buyer flies in or drives over the Verrazzano, they tour 6-8 viable homes in one weekend instead of 20 marginal ones across two trips.
“Joe is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and truly had our best interests at heart throughout the entire process. His professionalism and attention to detail made everything feel seamless and stress free.”

What should I know before relocating to Huguenot from Brooklyn or Manhattan?
Three things every relocating buyer should price into the Huguenot move: (1) the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge toll for commutes to Brooklyn (currently $11.19 with E-ZPass), (2) a car is functionally required — Huguenot is a south-shore neighborhood where the closest rail is the Staten Island Railway at Huguenot station feeding the St. George ferry, and (3) NYC property taxes are calculated as a fraction of assessed value, not market value, which keeps annual tax bills under what most relocating buyers expect. Typical Huguenot single-family bills land between $4,500 and $9,500 a year depending on assessment. Joseph runs the full carrying-cost math — mortgage at the current 6.62% New York 30-year rate, taxes, insurance, and bridge tolls — so you know your real monthly number before signing a contract.
