Midland Beach, located on Staten Island’s eastern shore, has transformed from a 19th-century resort town into a quiet, convenient neighborhood. The area is known for its semi-detached, colonial-style houses, duplexes, townhomes, and a few quaint bungalows and raised ranches. Many homes have been renovated or raised since Superstorm Sandy, with some new builds available. The neighborhood is connected to Brooklyn via the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, and residents often commute to Manhattan using the Staten Island Ferry. Along Hylan Boulevard, residents enjoy a variety of dining options, including Turkish fusion at Sahara Mediterranean Grill, Anatolian halal at Zara Cafe Grill, and upscale seafood at Violette’s Cellar. Grocery needs are met by Istanbul Grand Bazaar, Family Fruit Hylan, and HL Supermarket. The nearby Boulevard offers over 60 shops, including Ulta and Marshalls. Midland Beach itself features soft sand, grassy dunes, a boardwalk, and recreational amenities like playgrounds, skate parks, and basketball courts. The Franklin D. Roosevelt Boardwalk and Beach stretches for nearly 2.5 miles, offering historical memorials and senior-friendly areas. Great Kills Park, south of the neighborhood, provides over 500 acres of green space. Students attend highly rated schools, including P.S. 038 George Cromwell, I.S. 2 George L. Egbert Middle School, and New Dorp High School. The neighborhood is accessible via the Staten Island Railroad and major roadways like I-278.
