Neighborhood Information New York is a great place to live, work, and play. We enjoy working in the communities we live in and are proud to serve the fine communities of Richmond and Kings County. Below you will find valuable information for the neighborhoods of New York City, Brooklyn and Staten Island. Feel free to browse around and remember to bookmark this page for future reference. Demographics Staten Island is the southernmost county in New York State - the third largest borough among New York City's five counties covering 60.9 square miles. Located only five miles from Manhattan and a half-mile from Brooklyn, Staten Island is an excellent residential area only minutes away from all the conveniences of the city. From north to south, Staten Island is 13.9 miles and from east to west 7.3 miles. Four major bridges and the Staten Island ferry connect the Island to surrounding areas. Quality of Life In addition to being a thriving business community, Staten Island is a great place to call home. The Island boasts more parkland than any other Borough, as well as beaches, cultural attractions and fast access to entertainments from apple-picking in New Jersey to a Broadway show. A family-oriented Borough, Staten Island boasts ample residential choices, excellent schools and the safety of close knit, town-based communities. Over 1,500 new units of housing are built every year on Staten Island. Housing stock ranges from town-house units starting at $75,000 to one-family luxury detached units worth over $1 million. Transportation Just outside the thick of New York traffic, Staten Island boasts easy access to the Interstate Highway System. Twenty minutes west of the Island are Interstate 80, the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Expressway as well as access roads to Manhattan. Across the Verrazano Bridge to the east, Staten Island is proximate to main arteries serving Nassau and Suffolk Counties. In addition to road shipping route access, Staten Island offers nearby water freight service through the Howland Hook Marine Terminal, located on the Island's North Shore. Howland Hook serves major shipping lines such as Maersk, Sea-Land and Evergreen. Port Ivory, a 371-acre property that abuts the Howland Hook facility, is a designated Free Trade Zone. Education Region 7 of the New York department of education serves the borough of Staten Island with 87 elementary schools, 24 intermediate schools, and 18 high schools. For a complete list of schools and locations visit region 7’s new state-of-the-art official website.
