A historic North Shore neighborhood in ZIP 10304 that is finding its second act - the Urby development brought the waterfront back, Bay Street is filling up with bars and restaurants, and Tappen Park anchors it all, a short hop from the ferry. Here is what it is actually like to live here.
Stapleton has good bones. It is one of the oldest neighborhoods on the island, with rows of vintage homes, older multifamily houses, and streets that climb up from the harbor. For years it was a quiet, affordable pocket. Now the Urby waterfront development, new restaurants, and a wave of buyers who want ferry access without St. George prices have it moving in a real way.
The energy runs along Bay Street, where you will find breweries, restaurants, and a corridor that keeps getting better. Tappen Park gives the neighborhood a green center and a farmers market, and the whole thing sits close enough to the ferry that a Manhattan commute stays short. It is history and momentum in the same place.
The modern residential development that reopened the Stapleton waterfront, bringing new life, a farm, and harbor access to the North Shore.
The revitalizing main corridor - breweries, restaurants, and small businesses giving the neighborhood a real night out scene.
A historic green square at the heart of Stapleton, home to a seasonal farmers market and community events.
Your stop on the Staten Island Railway, running north to the St. George Ferry Terminal and the boat to Manhattan.
Vintage single- and multifamily houses on hillside streets, offering character and value for buyers who want the North Shore.
A short trip up the shore to the free Staten Island Ferry, keeping the Manhattan commute quick from a neighborhood on the rise.
Stapleton is an improving, value driven market. Because the housing runs from vintage single family homes to older multifamily houses, prices generally fall in a broad range from about $450,000 to $800,000, with the number set by type, size, condition, and location on the hill. Larger multifamily and nicely updated historic homes sell above that. As the Bay Street corridor and the waterfront keep improving, buyer interest here keeps climbing, so well priced, well presented homes tend to move.
Those are ranges, not your number. The only way to know what a specific Stapleton home is worth today is a real read on the exact property and the most recent sales nearby.
