Kings Park Market Data
Current market conditions and pricing trends for Kings Park, Suffolk, NY.
Single-family, condo and co-op homes are measured separately — these medians are never blended together. Based on 162 recorded closings in ZIP 11754 between Sep 10, 2025 and Sep 10, 2026 — a settled trailing twelve months, ending about a month back so late-recorded closings are counted rather than missed. Days on market are medians, not averages. A property type with fewer than 8 closed sales in that window is left out rather than published on a sample too thin to mean anything.
Momentum in 11754 has been building over the past 2 years — the median sale price has climbed roughly 4% year over year to about $790K while time on market has generally shortened. Sellers currently hold the stronger hand, and if the pattern persists, prices could continue to firm.
Based on information from OneKey® MLS, for the period October 8, 2025 through October 2, 2026. Source: OneKey MLS (recorded LI sales, trailing 12mo) + actual tax. Based on 167 recorded sales.

Across 8 years of county-clerk records, 103 homes in the Kings Park school district were bought by a company and resold within two years. Over the whole period the typical one was bought for $365,000 and resold for $565,000, a median of 7.5 months later.
That difference is gross. Renovation, carrying, financing and selling costs are not recorded anywhere public, so it is the change in price, not a profit. Over a hold of that length prices across the county moved about +5.3%, so most of the difference is not the market carrying the house.
What these homes resold for moved from a median of $498,888 in 2017 to $600,000 in 2024, up about 20% over the period.
The pandemic years cut against the intuition that investors moved in. Companies bought 14.2% of homes here in 2019, then 8.1% in 2020 and 4.8% in 2021 — the lowest share of the 8 years. In the two years when buyers competed hardest, companies won a smaller share, not a larger one. The number bought and resold within two years fell with it, from 15 in 2019 to 11 in 2021.
The resales that did happen in those years were the strongest of the period: the typical one in 2021 came in 75% above what the buyer had paid, against 56% across the years as a whole. Prices were rising underneath them while they held.
Since then it has reversed. Company buying reached 9.8% in 2024 — around its pre-pandemic level, while the market cooled.
In 2025, 14 homes in the Kings Park school district were resold by a company that had bought them within the previous two years. They were bought for a median of $535,000 and resold for a median of $760,000. Measured house by house, the typical resale was 56% above what that same buyer had paid, a median of 6.1 months earlier.

2025 is not a complete year here. Filings reach the state months after closing, so 2025 runs only to October and its totals will keep rising. Its counts are not comparable with a full year; its medians are.

Source: property transfers recorded with the county clerk, which cover every sale rather than only those listed for sale. Filings reach the state months after closing, so these figures run to October 2025 and describe what has already happened rather than the market today.
Between 2017 and October 2025, 527 homes in the Kings Park school district passed between family members rather than being sold — about 25 for every 100 that sold on the open market.
85% of them recorded no price at all, so they appear in no market statistic, no listing history and no sold comparable. They are counted here because the transfer itself is filed with the county clerk, whether or not money changed hands.
Counted from the reason recorded on each transfer with the county clerk, not from the price. Transfers filed only to add or remove a name on the deed are excluded — those are paperwork, not a change of owner. Where a filing gives no reason it is not counted, so these are minimum counts rather than a complete rate, and they run to October 2025.
Of the 27 homes for sale in Kings Park today, 8 are now asking less than they originally asked — 29.6%, against 34.9% across Suffolk.
And among the homes that actually sold
Among the 162 homes that sold in Kings Park over the last twelve settled months, 19.1% had cut their price before they sold — unchanged from 18.1% over the same twelve months a year earlier. The for-sale figure runs higher than the sold figure because homes that need a reduction stay on the market longer, so they build up among the listings still available while the completed sales are led by homes that sold without cutting.
What each group got
Over those same twelve months, the 131 Kings Park homes that sold without ever reducing achieved 103.8% of their asking price in a median of 14 days. The 31 that did reduce achieved 95.2% of what they first asked, after 59 days.
Homes that never reduced and homes that did are different homes, priced differently from the start — these figures describe what each group did, not what a reduction causes. How any individual home performs depends on condition, layout, its position within Kings Park and how it shows, none of which a market median can capture.
Measured from the OneKey MLS feed, updated daily. A home counts as reduced when its current asking price is below the price it was first listed at — not against an estimate or against other homes. The for-sale figures describe homes available today; the sold figures describe closed sales between September 2025 and August 2026.
What This Means for Sellers
Kings Park reads as a Hot Seller's Market: about 1.8 months of single-family supply, and homes sold in a median of 16 days over the past 12 months. If you're considering selling, this market rewards strategic pricing — not overpricing. A properly positioned listing will attract qualified buyers and maximize your net proceeds.
What This Means for Buyers
Buyers in Kings Park should be prepared to act quickly and come with strong offers. Pre-approval is essential, and buyers are generally better served retaining their own real estate attorney early to review the negotiation and contract. Expect competition, but don't overpay — there's a difference between being competitive and being reckless.
Counted over the trailing twelve months: every listing that closed, expired, was withdrawn or was terminated. Listings still active or under contract are not counted on either side. If the feed does not retain every withdrawn listing, the real figure is higher than the one shown, never lower.

What It's Like Living in Kings Park
Kings Park is one of Suffolk's most established residential communities, offering a distinctive blend of suburban character and metropolitan accessibility. Located in the 11754 zip code, the community is served by the Kings Park Central School District.
With a median home price of $750,500 and a median recorded property tax of $13,100 annually, Kings Park pairs an established housing stock with direct access to New York City. The commute to Manhattan averages approximately 71 min via the Long Island Rail Road.
Living in Kings Park does not mean one kind of ownership — condos selling at a median of $743K, single-family homes selling at a median of $751K, each with its own economics and day-to-day experience. The practical difference is who owns the to-do list: coop and condo buildings absorb exterior upkeep through monthly charges, while a house puts every system and repair decision in your hands. Condos are the dominant apartment form in Kings Park — deeded ownership with fewer transfer restrictions than a coop.

Schools in Kings Park, NY
Kings Park is served by the Kings Park Central School District. Attendance zones on Long Island are assigned street by street, so a Kings Park mailing address does not by itself determine which school a home is zoned for.
- Elementary
- Fort Salonga Elementary School Parkview Elementary School RJ O Intermediate School
- Middle
- William T Rogers Middle School
- High
- Kings Park High School
These are the schools recorded on homes sold in this district over the last 12 months — the district may also serve neighbouring communities. Zones can change and run street by street — we confirm the exact assignment for any home before you offer.
Typical value is the median recorded sale price in the district. Typical annual tax and effective rate are the median recorded tax bill and that bill divided by the median sale price, across 196 recent sales carrying a reported tax figure — an observed cost ratio, not an official millage rate. District boundaries can cross town and postal lines, so always verify the district for a specific address.
