Oakwood Real Estate: Rent, Sell, Manage & Invest
Oakwood is a quiet East Shore neighborhood of detached homes, built around its Staten Island Railway stop and an easy ferry commute to the city. NY Online Realty helps you rent, sell, manage, or invest here.
Living in Oakwood
Oakwood sits on Staten Island's East Shore between New Dorp and Bay Terrace, a low-key residential neighborhood organized around the SIR Oakwood Heights station and a small commercial strip along Guyon Avenue. It's a car-and-rail suburb of the city — the Staten Island Railway carries you to the St. George ferry terminal, and from there it's roughly a 25-minute boat ride to Lower Manhattan.
Housing is mostly detached and semi-attached single-family homes on modest lots, with some newer townhouse construction mixed in. The low-lying Fox Beach section near Oakwood Beach was part of a state buyout after Hurricane Sandy and is returning to wetland, while the bulk of the neighborhood sits comfortably inland.
The Oakwood market, in plain terms
Oakwood is a steady, owner-occupied East Shore market driven by families looking for detached homes near the rail line. Sales move at a measured pace, rentals are limited and lease quickly, and the mix of older homes and newer townhouses gives buyers and investors a range of price points to work with.
