Urban access with a suburban touch
Located just over 15 miles from Midtown Manhattan, the Dutch Hill neighborhood of Clifton offers a convenient escape from the congestion of New York City – without feeling too unfamiliar or suburban in nature. “Each neighborhood in Clifton sort of has its own personality,” says Frances Rosado, Broker at Real Broker LLC and longtime resident of the area. “Dutch Hill isn’t really as suburban feeling as other neighborhoods in Clifton – it retains more of that urban flavor that New York City has, and so it’s great for transplants or those who just want a more manageable slice of urban life.” Walkable, full of old-school style and a convenient blend of urban and suburban access, Dutch Hill provides a respite from the area’s congestion while maintaining access and urban flair.

NYC Transplants find more home for less money
Homes in Dutch Hill are generally going to offer much more for the money in comparison to New York City, though the transition to the neighborhood is helped by its more urban atmosphere. “New Yorkers looking to get out of the city without feeling like they’re in a whole different world will like Dutch Hill,” says Rosado. “Many of the residents are people who made that move themselves, and it has the feel of a sort of mini borough of New York.” The unique blend of urban and suburban is reflected in the homes available, as prospective homebuyers will find more spacious home styles such as single-family Colonial Revivals and traditional multi-family homes as well – the latter of which is sometimes split into individual condominium or duplex units. The occasional ranch style and Cape Cod is also present, but lots are generally smaller than those in more suburban neighborhoods nearby. Prices for condos begin at $150,000, while single-family homes range in price from $360,000 to $750,000. Some older Colonial Revivals in need of renovations can go lower, just as some multi-family units can reach prices around $1 million.
Because of its age many streets in Dutch Hill offer a variety of housing styles.
Many large American Foursquare style homes can be found in Dutch Hill.
