The real estate market has its ups and downs. In August’s monthly price drop report, RealtyHop analyzed available data for July across boroughs and neighborhoods in New York City to provide a useful resource for those looking to invest in real estate.
We specifically focused on neighborhoods with the highest total number of price drops, specifically the highest price drops by median percentage, median dollar value, and by street address.
A Closer Look at NYC’s Neighborhoods
Our interactive map below depicts the neighborhoods we analyzed. All numbers are based on RealtyHop’s proprietary dataset.
Top 5 Neighborhoods With the Highest Number of Price Drops
| Neighborhood | Borough | Number of Price Drops | |
| 1 | Turtle Bay-East Midtown | Manhattan | 157 |

| 4 | Hudson Yards-Chelsea-Flatiron-Union Square | Manhattan | 101 |

The number one neighborhood in regards to price drops for the month of July was again Turtle Bay-East Midtown. The neighborhood had in the past month a total number of price drops of 157, significantly lower compared to last month. The number of price drops across all top 5 neighborhoods had decreased in the past month, which is somewhat expected, as the real estate market tends to be more robust from May to August and usually reaches its peak in July. This time around, we see that Lenox Hill-Roosevelt Island made the top five list, knocking out Upper West Side. The neighborhoods on the list ranged between price drops of 98 – 157.
