📊 Why this data is more reliable than other sites
The numbers on this page come from the NYC Department of Finance public records — every legally recorded property sale in Fieldston, not just MLS-listed transactions. Sites like Zillow and StreetEasy only capture listings that go through their platforms, missing FSBO sales, off-market deals, and transfers that never hit the MLS. This dataset includes all of them.
We also remove bulk portfolio transfers, nominal sales, and non-arms-length transactions that would distort median prices — cleaning that most data sources don't do. The result is a more accurate picture of what individual homes are actually selling for in your market.
Data source: NYC Department of Finance, Rolling Sales Data — Bronx. Period: April 2025 – March 2026. Excludes $0 transfers, nominal sales, non-arms-length transactions, and bulk portfolio transfers identified through same-date/same-price pattern analysis. Last updated: May 2026.

What This Means for Sellers
Fieldston is a predominantly single-family market — 57.1% of recent recorded sales were detached or semi-detached single-family homes. Buyers here are typically end-users searching for homes to live in, not investors. Pricing accuracy and presentation matter more than in apartment markets because most transactions are emotional, family-driven purchases.

Fieldston, Bronx at a Glance
Fieldston is a small private residential community within the Riverdale section of the northwestern Bronx, bordered by the Hudson River area to the west, Van Cortlandt Park to the east, and Mosholu Parkway to the south. Designed in the early 20th century by the Fieldston Property Owners' Association and architect Dwight James Baum, Fieldston is one of New York City's last remaining private streets — its roads are privately maintained and the neighborhood is recognized as a historic district. Housing is overwhelmingly large single-family homes on substantial lots, many with architectural distinction.
Fieldston is served by the same Metro-North and express bus options as adjacent Riverdale, with the Mosholu Parkway and Henry Hudson Parkway providing road access. The area is home to the Fieldston School, an elite private K–12 institution founded in 1928. Because of the small geographic footprint and limited housing turnover, recorded sales volume is modest each year, and individual transactions can significantly influence median prices.
