A quiet, residential pocket on the East and Mid Island side in ZIP 10306 - single family homes on calm streets, Oakwood Beach nearby, and the wooded Greenbelt a short drive away. Here is what it is actually like to live here.
Oakwood sits in that comfortable middle ground on the island's east side - close to the water, close to the woods, and quiet enough to feel settled. The housing stock leans single family and detached, on calm residential streets that draw families looking for a steady, unhurried place to live. It is one of those neighborhoods people move to and do not leave.
What makes Oakwood work is how much is within reach. Oakwood Beach and the shoreline are just to the south, the wooded Greenbelt is a short drive inland, and the shopping along Hylan Boulevard covers the everyday. Add the Staten Island Railway running to the ferry and quick expressway access, and you get a practical, well located neighborhood.
A quiet stretch of East Shore waterfront just to the south, good for walks and time by the water away from the crowds.
