St. George

The island's civic and transit hub in ZIP 10301 - the ferry to Manhattan at the bottom of the hill, Empire Outlets and the ballpark on the waterfront, the courts and the memorial right there, and the most walkable, urban living Staten Island has. Here is what it is actually like to live here.

Living here

The one corner of the island where you skip the car.

St. George is Staten Island at its most urban. This is the downtown - the ferry terminal, the courthouses, the library, the theaters, and Borough Hall all within a few blocks. The housing mixes historic hillside homes with harbor views, older multifamily houses, and newer condos, so you get real range in style and price for a neighborhood this walkable.

The pull here is simple: you can live without a car and still get to Manhattan faster than most of Brooklyn. Grab coffee, walk down the hill, and step onto the free ferry. Empire Outlets, the waterfront, and the ballpark are your front yard. It is the most connected, most walkable place on the island, full stop.

Market snapshot

What St. George homes are doing

St. George is a mixed, walkability driven market. Because you get everything from condos to historic hillside houses to older multifamily homes, prices generally run in a broad range from about $500,000 to $900,000, with the number set by type, size, condition, and whether you have a harbor or skyline view. Historic homes and larger multifamily properties sell above that. Buyers pay a premium here for the ferry, the walkability, and the car free lifestyle, so well priced, well presented homes tend to move.

Those are ranges, not your number. The only way to know what a specific St. George home or condo is worth today is a real read on the exact property and the most recent sales nearby.
