Character homes on the hill above the ferry.

Brighton Heights rises just above St. George on the North Shore, a neighborhood of older, characterful homes on hilly streets with real proximity to the ferry. It has the feel of an established, in-town neighborhood - sidewalks, mature trees, and a mix of single-family and two-family houses.

Silver Lake Park and its golf course sit right at the edge, and the St. George Ferry Terminal is a short ride away, making the trip to Lower Manhattan about as easy as it gets on Staten Island. It is a practical pick for commuters who want character without a long haul.
