Living here

Waterfront history and everyday value.

Mariners Harbor grew up around the water. This was oyster country and shipbuilding country long before the bridges, and the neighborhood still carries that maritime history in its bones. Today it is a settled residential area on the North and West Shore, with a housing stock that runs from single family homes to multifamily houses at some of the more approachable prices on the island.

The appeal for a lot of buyers is straightforward: you get more home for your money and you are minutes from the Goethals Bridge to New Jersey and the Staten Island Expressway. Bus routes tie you east to the ferry. For value and access without the ferry front premium, Mariners Harbor delivers.

Because the housing runs from single family homes to older multifamily houses, prices generally fall in a broad range from about $450,000 to $750,000, with the number set by type, size, condition, and location. Larger multifamily and nicely updated homes sell above that.
