Homes
in Bay Ridge.

These figures cover Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and Bensonhurst: 87,293 homes in 26,829 residential buildings. The median home sits in a 3 floor building. One and two family houses hold a third of the homes and walk-ups 35 percent, so about two in three have no elevator. The stock runs from limestone and brick row houses in Bay Ridge to the detached houses of Dyker Heights and the two family houses of Bensonhurst. Four in five homes date from before 1940, with 1928 as the median year built, and only 4 percent stand in buildings put up in 2000 or later. A fifth of homes are in elevator buildings, among them the apartment houses along Shore Road, and 6 percent sit above shops.

With the median home in a building of 3 floors and 68 percent of homes in walk-ups or houses, a pickup in Bay Ridge is usually a short carry: down a flight or two inside, then out by the front steps or a side door. A house may have more than one way out, so tell us which door suits you and whether the rug is upstairs, on the main floor or in the basement. In an elevator building, such as those along Shore Road, ask the super which entrance vendors use and note it under Building access. Measure the rug before you book.
