ZIP 11772 has about 2.8 months of single family inventory — seller's market. Demand is outpacing supply, so homes sell quickly with firm pricing and limited room to negotiate.

At about $13,538 a year, this home's property tax runs roughly 35% above the $10,000 typical for South Country Central School District.
