Upmarket suburb perched on Staten Island’s highest point

Located in the center of Staten Island, Todt Hill is situated around the borough’s highest point and is widely considered to be its most affluent neighborhood. Large stately homes sit along quiet residential streets and private cul-de-sacs with old-growth trees. “One of the biggest things that the area is known for is that at more than 400 feet, it’s the highest point on the eastern seaboard between Florida and the Cape Cod peninsula,” says Joe Tirone a broker/owner with Compass and local expert. Homes in the area benefit from having views of New York Harbor and all of its attractions but also proximity to expansive green space.

The 2800-acre Staten Island Greenbelt

Running along Todt Hill’s western edge, Staten Island Greenbelt is a 2800-acre contiguous parkland that incorporates separate green spaces like the Saint Francis Woodland and Richmond County Country Club Golf Course. This members-only complex, one of the oldest in the United States, also has a Tennis Center and Olympic-size pool. The Moravian Cemetery incorporates historic sites like the Vanderbilt Mausoleum. Theater In the Woods Film is a Victorian-era mansion turned cinema. Reed's Basket Willow Swamp Park has dog-friendly trails. General Douglas MacArthur Park in close-by Dongan Hills includes multi-use sports fields. New York Lower Bay can be accessed for summer-time swimming at Franklin D. Roosevelt Boardwalk and Beach. The Ocean Breeze Pier is a popular spot for fishing.

Stately mansions within New York City

“If you’re thinking of buying a home in Todt Hill, be prepared to spend a little money,” says Tirone. “It’s even costlier than some trendy neighborhoods in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. You can get spacious loft in upscale Tribeca, but you won’t have views of the country’s longest suspension bridge or the New York City skyline from your heated pool and outdoor kitchen, like here.” Homes range from postwar ranches at the bottom of the hill, priced between $700,000 to $1.2 million, to sprawling Tudor Revival and colonial revival mansions, selling for $2 million to $5.6 million. These multi-bedroom properties tend to have incorporated garages, large backyards and other luxurious outdoor amenities. In between, mid-sized split-levels, French Mansard colonials and Modern colonials hover around the $1.8 million mark.
