Living here

History and green space, side by side.

Richmondtown is unlike anywhere else on Staten Island. This is the home of Historic Richmond Town, a living history museum of restored buildings that tells the story of the island going back centuries. Living here means having that history right outside your door, in a neighborhood that feels older, greener, and more storied than the developments around it.

The setting is the other half of the appeal. Richmondtown borders LaTourette Park and its golf course, and it sits at the edge of the wooded Greenbelt - miles of trails through the largest protected woodland in the city. For buyers who want character, quiet, and real nature, all in a central Mid Island spot, it is hard to beat.
