real estate si ny.comIt seems like New Dorp Heights has adopted this name over the years. The area is also known as Egbertville. However, it does seem a little bit more posh to call it New Dorp Heights. The area is also where I called home for most of my child and young adulthood. The area is mostly composed mostly of single family detached homes constructed from the mid 50’s on. There are several duplex developments also in the area. St. Stephens Place has homes that feature views of the lower half of New Dorp and views of Raritan Bay.

New Dorp Heights is also home to the Gustave A. Mayer House, located at 2475 Richmond Road. The home was Built 1855 and was designated a New York City Landmark 1989. Additionally, the area features the New Dorp Lighthouse, this little known lighthouse sits just off Boyle Ave. and is privately owned and occupied as a residence. Due to its relitive obscurity many people in this community are completely unaware the home was used as a lighthouse up until the 1960’s.

If you like nature its right in your backyard in this community. During the spring and summer months, the greenbelt that sits behind this community comes alive with an eerie chime of crickets. Which can make this community unlike most places in New York City . The parks inhabitance sometimes makes its presence in the neighborhood in the form of many different types of frogs. Walker Pond just off Summit Ave. is where many of these frogs make their home. Yes, many of our summer nights were filled with us kids chasing these critters around the neighborhood. When thinking back to then and being there today, little has changed in this neighborhood, which makes this community a very kid friendly and peaceful. Consequently, if you like the feel of a real country setting and all while living near the big city, New Dorp Heights is a place to look for your next home.
