Unionport homes range from co-ops to multifamily properties
Buyers can choose from co-ops, multifamily homes and detached houses. Co-ops tend to be the lowest-priced option, typically ranging from the mid-$100,000s to the lower $200,000s. Residential blocks feature semi-detached brick two-family homes, attached multifamily rowhouses and detached colonial-style houses, some with driveways, garages or small yards. “It’s actually one of the quieter areas of the Bronx, as lots of residents prefer to live in condos here rather than have their own houses,” says Maria Vivanco, a former real estate agent with Exit Realty Premium. Multifamily homes generally sell from the lower $700,000s to around $1.2 million, and some buyers live in one unit while renting out the others. Single-family houses tend to sell from the mid-$400,000s to the upper $700,000s. Unionport’s median sale price is in the lower $600,000s, less than in nearby Castle Hill, though the neighborhood remains renter-heavy.
