PropertyShark reports a Port Richmond median sale price of about $702,500 for Q3 2026, up 31.3% from the prior year, from 8 sales, up from 5. The median price per square foot was $475, up 6.6%. Source: propertyshark.com, Port Richmond market trends, Q3 2026.
That 31.3% rests on eight sales against five and should not be read as a trend. Port Richmond recorded 5, 3 and 8 sales in the first three quarters of 2026, and the quarterly median moved from $635,000 to $575,000 to $702,500. The steadier signal is the price per square foot, which rose 6.6%. A relocating buyer should budget around the range and not the headline.
Port Richmond is a one-to-four family neighborhood. PropertyShark counts 1,067 residential units, made up of 587 single-family homes, 344 two-to-four family units and 136 condos. Source: propertyshark.com, Port Richmond housing stock, Q3 2026.
Buyers coming from a rental or a condo in another borough can use a two-to-four family house, 344 units in Port Richmond, to live in one unit and rent the others. Joseph Ranola helps relocating buyers compare the single-family, multi-unit and condo options against the same monthly budget.
PropertyShark counts 35 of Port Richmond’s 934 residential buildings in a flood zone and 136 in a hurricane evacuation zone. By type, 13 single-family and 22 two-to-four family buildings are in the flood zone. Source: propertyshark.com, Port Richmond risk table, Q3 2026.
About 4% of the buildings are in the flood zone, so most Port Richmond blocks are not, but the exposure is address-specific. Joseph Ranola recommends a flood insurance quote before the inspection period ends, since the premium belongs in the monthly budget next to taxes and the mortgage.

The Staten Island Ferry is free and runs 24 hours a day from the St. George terminal at 1 Bay Street to Whitehall at 4 South Street. Weekday rush hour boats (6:00 to 9:30 AM and 3:30 to 8:00 PM) leave every 15 or 20 minutes, and other weekday and weekend times run every 30 minutes. Source: siferry.com.
Port Richmond is not at the terminal, so a commuter should test the door-to-door trip at rush hour before making an offer. Joseph Ranola sends relocating clients the commute test as a first step and does not quote a commute time without one.

“I had a fantastic experience working with Joseph. His communication was excellent. He was always responsive, prompt, and genuinely attentive to every call and question. He was diligent throughout the process and worked seamlessly with both sides, helping coordinate my client’s home sale in Staten Island while I helped him with a purchase in New Jersey. The deals lined up perfectly, and I highly recommend his services.” — Madeline McCarthy, verified Google review
