About Staten Island, NY?
Staten Island, often the forgotten borough of New York City, is much more than just a forgotten landmass. Bathed in the waters of New York Harbor and separated from the mainland by the Kill Van Kull and Arthur Kill, it boasts a unique identity defined by its diverse neighborhoods, rich history, and natural beauty. Here, within a 60-square-mile expanse, reside over 495,000 residents who enjoy a lifestyle that blends suburban charm with urban accessibility.
The island’s character takes shape through its contrasting landscapes. From the vibrant, multicultural streets of St. George and Stapleton to the rolling hills and farmland of Tottenville and Princes Bay, there’s a visual story for every explorer. History buffs are drawn to the Conference House, where representatives of the Continental Congress and the British attempted reconciliation during the Revolutionary War, and the Alice Austen House, showcasing the life and work of an early feminist photographer.

Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden offers a sprawling oasis of greenery and artistic expression, while Great Kills Park provides stunning beachfront views and abundant opportunities for hiking, biking, and water sports. The Staten Island Zoo, with its diverse array of animals, is a favorite amongst families, while the historic Conference House Park invites a peaceful escape into nature’s embrace.
