By revamping one of our older research project, our friends at RENTCafé have crafted a cool slideshow of the evolution of home architecture in NYC over the last 215 years. They’ve captured snapshots of beautiful homes via Google Maps Street View and crunched interesting property data from our property reports.
If you’re not the walking type of person, we invite you to embark on a virtual architectural tour which is pretty amazing, given the time span it covers.

One of the iconic images of New York City is, without a doubt, the skyscraper. That’s why when talking about the city’s residential architecture high-rise buildings are probably what many people would think about, rather than traditional house design.
However, it’s the traditional NYC home which has written several pages of the city’s history. As you’ve probably noticed by walking on the streets of your own neighborhood, there’s a plethora of architecturally distinct single-family residences out there, designed throughout the decades by visionary architects. Nevertheless, if you’d like to take a look at some of the most exquisite examples of 1800s and 1900s Federalist, Italianate, Tudor Revival, or Colonial style homes, begin with some of the most historical neighborhoods. Brooklyn Heights, Astoria, Greenwich Village, and several others are a good starting point.
