Elm Park followed at 4.7 years, while Park Hill and Richmond Town also recorded some of the city\u2019s shortest tenures, averaging 5.2 and 5.6 years, respectively.&nbsp;Both <strong>Park Hill and Richmond Town<\/strong>&nbsp;appear to be&nbsp;in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/2025\/06\/03\/double-in-a-decade-nyc-neighborhood-price-growth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">early stages of gentrification<\/a>, with redevelopment in Park Hill and renewed buyer interest in Richmond Town contributing to faster turnover.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly enough,&nbsp;<strong>Graniteville<\/strong>&nbsp;posted NYC\u2019s seventh-lowest homeowner tenure, at 5.6 years on average, as half of the sales here involved condos.&nbsp;Unlike single family homes, which average at 12.9 years on a city level,&nbsp;condos&nbsp;have a slightly shorter tenure of just 10.6 years on average, which can explain Graniteville&#8217;s short-term ownership.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Two_Bridges_Marks_NYCs_Shortest_Tenure_Manhattan_Valley_Surpasses_Boroughs_Average\"><\/span>Two Bridges Marks NYC\u2019s Shortest Tenure, Manhattan Valley Surpasses Borough\u2019s Average&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Manhattan stands out with&nbsp;<strong>Two Bridges<\/strong>, as the neighborhood recorded&nbsp;<strong>the shortest homeowner tenure in NYC<\/strong>, averaging just 4.1 years \u2014 well below Manhattan\u2019s 10.5-year benchmark. Though based on a small sample of 19 sales, the low tenure reflects the neighborhood\u2019s rapid gentrification and luxury redevelopment.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once&nbsp;a relatively affordable&nbsp;area,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/2025\/06\/03\/double-in-a-decade-nyc-neighborhood-price-growth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Two Bridges has seen prices surge 288%<\/a>&nbsp;over the past decade&nbsp;to&nbsp;$1.64 million, fueled by large-scale projects like One Manhattan Square and 247 Cherry Street. Conversely,&nbsp;<strong>Manhattan Valley<\/strong>&nbsp;posted a higher-than average tenure, with owners having kept their homes for 13.2 years before selling this year. Similarly, Kips Bay had an average tenure of 13.1 years, as some&nbsp;condos&nbsp;in the area remained under the same ownership for over 40 years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given Manhattan\u2019s distinctive mix of wealth, property types and market fluidity, many neighborhoods hover close to the borough\u2019s average homeowner tenure of around 10 years. This reflects a market where affluent owners have the flexibility to move when they&nbsp;choose, yet&nbsp;often hold their properties longer \u2014 drawn by the high value of prime locations and the prestige tied to Manhattan real estate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a city defined by movement, NYC\u2019s tenure patterns reveal where homeowners stay rooted and where&nbsp;they\u2019re&nbsp;more likely to move on \u2014 a snapshot of a housing market shaped as much by economics&nbsp;as by&nbsp;neighborhood&nbsp;character, with property prices also strongly tied to tenure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading toch has-fl-accent-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1b7c07a0c615498d0ad6f612534f99d2\" id=\"full-top-100\" style=\"font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:700;text-transform:uppercase\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NYC_Ownership_Tenure_by_Neighborhood_%E2%80%94_Full_List\"><\/span>NYC Ownership Tenure by Neighborhood \u2014 Full List<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Explore_the_complete_breakdown_of_homeownership_tenure_for_properties_sold_in_2025_across_NYC_neighborhoods_in_the_interactive_table_below\"><\/span><em><strong>Explore the complete breakdown of homeownership tenure for properties sold in 2025 across NYC neighborhoods in the interactive table below<\/strong><\/em>:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<iframe title=\"\" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-Xiy6z\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/Xiy6z\/4\/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"1256\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">window.addEventListener(\"message\",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";r.style.height=d}}});<\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because tenure also influences how property values evolve, reviewing recent comparable sales (comps) can offer deeper insight into how long-held homes and quicker turnover shape pricing trends across the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/mason\/Accounts\/register.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"970\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2025\/03\/Comps-article-banners-1-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2025\/03\/Comps-article-banners-1-1.png 970w, https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2025\/03\/Comps-article-banners-1-1.png?resize=300,62 300w, https:\/\/www.propertyshark.com\/Real-Estate-Reports\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/98\/2025\/03\/Comps-article-banners-1-1.png?resize=768,158 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Methodology\"><\/span>Methodology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine the average homeownership tenure across NYC, we took into account all arm&#8217;s length home sales in 2025 that had at least one previous sale date, with new-build property sales excluded.

What was the average NYC owner tenure in 2025?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of 2025, the average homeownership tenure across NYC stands at approximately 10.9 years, according to the&nbsp;PropertyShark&nbsp;research.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Which NYC borough has the longest homeownership tenure?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bronx has the longest average homeownership tenure at 12.9&nbsp;years, followed closely by Queens at 12.7&nbsp;years. Staten Island has the shortest tenure, at 6.5 years on average.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Which NYC borough has the shortest homeownership tenure?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Staten Island has the shortest homeownership tenure, of just 6.5 years on average, significantly lower than the NYC average of 10.9 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Why do some NYC neighborhoods have much shorter or longer homeownership tenures than others?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Homeownership tenure is influenced by factors like income levels, housing type,&nbsp;price&nbsp;and local market dynamics. Areas experiencing gentrification or redevelopment,&nbsp;such as Two Bridges, Park Hill or Richmond Town,&nbsp;often show shorter tenure due to rapid turnover, while stable, single family neighborhoods like Neponsit or Marine Park&nbsp;post&nbsp;much longer tenure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. How\u00a0does\u00a0property\u00a0type,\u00a0home price and size affect how long New Yorkers keep their homes?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Single family homes and mid-priced properties tend to have the longest holding periods, while co-ops&nbsp;and&nbsp;very small&nbsp;or&nbsp;very large&nbsp;homes show shorter tenure. These differences reflect both owner mobility and the mix of investors vs. long-term primary residents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:6px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:6px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fair_Use_Redistribution\"><\/span>Fair Use &amp; Redistribution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We encourage and freely grant permission to reuse and repost the information, analysis, charts, tables and images included on this page.
