Staten Island Real Estate

Staten Island offers genuine suburban-style living within NYC - yards, single-family homes, parks, nature preserves, and beaches that simply don't exist at this scale in Brooklyn or Queens. The free ferry to Manhattan is one of NYC's transit highlights. Pricing per square foot is generally lower than equivalent Brooklyn or Queens neighborhoods. For families prioritizing space, yards, and a quieter pace, Staten Island delivers. Call The Franzese Group at (718) 666-2696.

Staten Island housing is dominated by standalone single-family homes with yards - the suburban-style inventory that's hard to find in the other four boroughs.
