South Shore

 

Staten Island is the third largest yet least populated of the five boroughs, making it a wonderful place to settle down. Staten Islanders enjoy low crime rates, more space, and beautiful parks in the greenest borough. Homes here offer more bang for your buck and as you’ll find out in our neighborhood guide, the island is diverse and offers something for everyone.

 

The South Shore spans from Fresh Kills to Tottenville, the “South Pole” of New York State. Staten Island’s biggest homes are located here along with the most generous lots. Mostly detached one and two-family homes on the South Shore tend to be of newer construction, but there are some older character homes here too. This area has some of New York City’s best public schools and also some of the safest, most quiet streets.
