Travis Real Estate: Rent, Sell, Manage & Invest
Travis is a small, tight-knit West Shore neighborhood with a real small-town identity — once known as Linoleumville, and still home to one of the oldest continuous Fourth of July parades in the country. Tucked between Victory Boulevard and the West Shore Expressway, it keeps a quiet, community feel. NY Online Realty helps you rent, sell, manage, or invest here.
Living in Travis
Travis has a distinct local pride that outsizes its footprint. The neighborhood traces its roots to the American Linoleum Company era, and its Independence Day parade down Victory Boulevard is a genuine tradition that draws the whole community. Streets here are modest and residential, with local delis and shops giving it a village-within-the-city character bordered by the wide-open expanse of Freshkills Park to the south and east.
Housing is mostly single-family and two-family homes on quiet blocks, with a settled, long-tenured population. There's no rail line here — residents rely on local and express buses to St. George and Manhattan, and Route 440 (the West Shore Expressway) puts the Outerbridge and Goethals crossings within easy reach. It's a place people tend to stay in for the long haul.
The Travis market, in plain terms
Travis is a steady, community-driven West Shore market defined by strong local loyalty and low turnover. Well-maintained single- and two-family homes move reliably to buyers who value the neighborhood's small-town feel, and the limited rental pool leases readily. It's primarily an owner-occupant market, though two-family homes appeal to investors and owner-occupants who want rental income.
