About Staten Island
Staten Island is New York City's most suburban borough, offering a pace of life that feels far removed from Manhattan despite being a free ferry ride away. St. George is developing a walkable downtown with arts venues and waterfront dining. Tottenville at the southern tip feels like a small coastal town. If you want to stay in the city limits while owning a house with a yard, Staten Island delivers.
