Midcentury co-ops and home prices in Jerome Park
Most listings in Jerome Park come from midcentury co-op buildings along the Grand Concourse, a boulevard known for its Art Deco architecture. Studios and one-bedroom units come on the market most often, sometimes in elevator buildings with doormen and laundry rooms. Multifamily homes and newer apartment developments round out the housing mix, though they’re not as common. For-sale inventory is limited overall, so buyers may have only a handful of options at a time.
The neighborhood’s older homes reflect its history near the former Jerome Park Racetrack. According to local Realtor William Beltran with Douglas Elliman, “Jerome Park was just farmland. But in 1900, it was annexed to the city. Houses around Villa Avenue were modeled after a village in England and occupied by workers at the racetrack. The homes here were built to last.” One-bedroom co-ops typically sell from the mid-$100,000s to the upper $100,000s. Jerome Park’s overall median sale price lands in the upper $100,000s, similar to nearby Bedford Park's and Kingsbridge's but lower than Van Cortlandt Village's.
Midcentury co-op buildings make up much of Jerome Park’s housing.
