Staten Island Real Estate: Rent, Sell, Manage & Invest
Staten Island is New York City's most suburban borough — a place of single-family homes, parking, parks and a settled, community feel, connected to Manhattan by ferry and to Brooklyn by the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. NY Online Realty helps you rent, sell, manage, or invest here.
Living on Staten Island
Staten Island offers space and homeownership in a way the rest of the city rarely does — detached and semi-detached houses, driveways and yards, and neighborhoods that feel more like the suburbs than the five boroughs. The North Shore (St. George, near the ferry) is more urban and walkable; the South Shore (Tottenville, Great Kills) is more spacious and suburban; and the borough's parks and greenbelt add a lot of open space.
Getting around leans on cars, the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge to Brooklyn, and the Staten Island Ferry to Lower Manhattan, with the Staten Island Railway running north-south. The housing is predominantly owner-occupied single- and two-family homes, at prices that offer real value compared with the rest of the city.
The Staten Island market, in plain terms
Staten Island is a homeownership-driven market with a suburban character and relative value versus the rest of the city. Single- and two-family homes dominate, drawing families and buyers who want space and parking, while two-family homes offer investors and owner-occupants rental income. The market moves on space, schools and value more than on subway proximity.
