Detached single family homes in Roosevelt Island. Private ownership, no shared walls, no maintenance fees. Browse live inventory.
What makes single family homes stand out in this market
You own the land, the structure, and the lot. No co-op board, no condo association, no shared liability.
Most single family homes include a private yard, driveway, or garden. Outdoor space NYC apartments rarely offer.
Many NYC single family homes can be converted to two-family use, creating rental income to offset carrying costs.
You own the land. In NYC, land appreciates independently of the structure and provides a hard floor on value.
Roof, HVAC, plumbing, and facade are entirely the owner's cost. Budget 1-2% of home value annually for maintenance.
Milton verifies Certificate of Occupancy, zoning classification, and any open violations before you make an offer.
Single family homes command a significant premium over apartments in the same area due to land value.
No single family homes are currently listed. New inventory appears here as soon as it hits the RLS.

"I was trying to rent out my newly renovated condo in NYC's competitive rental market, and Milton Coste handled everything from start to finish. Milton knows the area inside out and was communicative, knowledgeable, and proactive throughout the entire process.

"Milton helped me purchase my first Manhattan condo, and I can't recommend him highly enough. What could have been a stressful process ended up feeling remarkably smooth. From the initial offer through closing, Milton was responsive, knowledgeable, and always willing to take the time to answer questions and explain the details. I always felt informed and supported, but never pressured. If you're looking for a broker who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping his clients succeed, I would absolutely recommend Milton."

Key items: C of O matches current use, no open ECB or DOB violations, survey showing lot dimensions, clear title, flood zone classification (FEMA maps), and any landmark restrictions. Milton coordinates all pre-offer due diligence.
