Townhouses, Colonial Revivals and ranch-style homes in Nanuet
Most of Nanuet’s houses were built in the mid-to-late 20th century; single-family homes on peaceful, residential streets tend to be Colonial Revivals, ranches, cottages and split-levels. “Nanuet also has the largest townhouse community in Rockland, with about 1,200 units,” Ocher says. “It spans from one to three bedrooms, and prices go anywhere between $300,000 and $650,000.” The median sale price for a single-family home in Nanuet is around $705,000, far above the national median. Nanuet’s housing market moved quickly when New Yorkers were leaving the city in 2020, but Ocher says it’s calmed down some since then. “As of late, buyers are people who have their own careers and aren’t looking to fix something,” she says. “They want something they can move into immediately.”
