One of the North Shore's most desirable established pockets in ZIP 10301 - a green park with a public golf course, the reservoir, tree lined streets of handsome older homes, and a short ride to the ferry. Here is what it is actually like to live here.
Silver Lake is one of those neighborhoods where homes get passed down and rarely come up for sale. The housing stock leans toward handsome older homes with real character - center hall colonials, tudors, and detached houses on established, tree lined streets. It is a settled, sought after part of the North Shore that holds its appeal decade after decade.
The heart of it is Silver Lake Park, wrapped around the reservoir, with a public golf course, tennis, and open green space right in the neighborhood. Add the proximity to St. George and the ferry, and you have one of the most desirable established areas the North Shore has to offer.
A green retreat wrapped around the reservoir, with walking paths, open lawns, and one of the North Shore's best loved parks.
Silver Lake Golf Course puts an 18-hole public course right in the neighborhood - a rare amenity to have at your doorstep.
The Silver Lake reservoir anchors the park and gives the neighborhood its name and its calm, green character.
Center hall colonials, tudors, and detached houses on established streets give Silver Lake its handsome, settled feel.
St. George and the Staten Island Ferry to Lower Manhattan are a short ride away, making the commute simple.
The Staten Island Expressway and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge to Brooklyn are minutes away for drivers.
Silver Lake is a desirable, low inventory market. Most homes trade between about $600,000 and $1,000,000, with the number set by lot size, square footage, updates, and how much original character the home still carries. Larger detached and historic homes sell above that. Because so few come up for sale and demand for the North Shore's established streets stays strong, well priced homes here draw serious attention.
Those are ranges, not your number. The only way to know what a specific Silver Lake home is worth today is a real read on the exact house and the most recent sales on its block.
