Brooklyn Heights continues to prove why it remains one of New York City’s most timeless and sought-after luxury neighborhoods. With a median luxury sale price of $7.075M, prices climbed 3% year-over-year while average pricing reached an impressive $1,865 PSF, up 4.7% from last year.

From its iconic tree-lined streets and historic brownstones to sweeping skyline views along the Promenade, Brooklyn Heights offers a rare blend of old-world charm and modern sophistication. Add in its acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, and tranquil waterfront setting just moments from Manhattan, and it’s easy to see why luxury buyers continue to be drawn to this storied neighborhood.

May reinforced the resilience of Manhattan’s luxury market, with 100 contracts signed across the $5M+ market and both average sale price and average price per square foot holding steady month over month. New development inventory continued to be a major driver of activity, but we also saw a notable shift in the resale market as properly priced properties that had lingered finally found buyers.

The market remains active, but today’s buyers are highly price conscious and increasingly selective. Sellers who adjusted expectations to align with current market realities were rewarded with renewed traction and successful deals.

Looking ahead, the proposed NYC pied-à-terre and second home tax will likely influence activity in the coming months, particularly at the high end of the market. That said, there is at least more clarity now compared to the uncertainty we saw earlier this spring when multiple competing tax proposals created hesitation across the market.

Real estate is more than transactions. It's about relationships.

The most successful businesses are built on genuine connections, thoughtful follow-ups, and personal touchpoints that clients remember long after a deal closes.

In an increasingly digital world, the personal touch remains one of the most powerful differentiators.

Lenz on Luxury: Greenwich Village

From the storied prewar residences lining the Gold Coast of Lower Fifth Avenue to the latest architecturally significant new developments, Greenwich Village remains one of Manhattan’s most coveted and tightly held neighborhoods. Defined by its historic charm, iconic jazz clubs, sidewalk cafés, and the energy surrounding Washington Square Park, the Village continues to offer a lifestyle unlike anywhere else in New York City.

The numbers reflect that enduring demand. Median luxury sale prices climbed to $9.1M, up 9.31% YoY, while luxury sales above $5M surged 31% YoY to 71 transactions over the last 12 months. Average closed pricing settled at $3,067PSF, down modestly year over year, as buyers continue to pursue larger residences and unique trophy properties whenever opportunities become available.

With its blend of historic character, cultural significance, and exceptionally limited inventory, Greenwich Village continues to stand out as one of Manhattan’s most desirable luxury enclaves.
