Ward Hill Real Estate: Rent, Sell, Manage & Invest
Ward Hill is a small, historic North Shore neighborhood perched on the rise above St. George, prized for its hilltop views and easy walk to the Staten Island Ferry. Older homes on steep, winding streets give it real character. NY Online Realty helps you rent, sell, manage, or invest here.
Living in Ward Hill
Ward Hill sits just inland from St. George on the higher ground above the harbor, and its elevation is the whole point — some blocks catch views toward the Kill Van Kull and Manhattan skyline. The streets are older and narrower than most of the island, lined with a mix of Victorian-era and early-20th-century homes, and the whole neighborhood feels tucked away despite being minutes from the ferry terminal and the civic core of St. George.
Because it's so close to St. George, Ward Hill offers one of the best commutes on Staten Island: a short walk or bus ride to the Staten Island Ferry means a free 25-minute ride to Lower Manhattan. Housing runs from restored older single-family homes to two- and multi-family conversions, drawing buyers who want character and a commuter's location over new construction.
The Ward Hill market, in plain terms
Ward Hill is a character-driven North Shore market where the draw is proximity to the ferry, hilltop views and historic housing rather than new construction. Restored single-family homes attract buyers who value architecture and commute, while two- and multi-family properties see consistent rental demand from ferry commuters. Inventory is limited given the neighborhood's small size, which keeps well-located homes in demand.
