Whether you coming from Brooklyn and need to know more about Staten Island has to offer, or you're looking for the history of some Staten Island landmarks? Or maybe just a Staten Islander wanting to know more about the history of the neighborhood? We have been compiling some of the best local information on places across New York City's outermost borough.
 
We always felt it was imperative for us to provide the best information available about what this great borough has to offer. Whether it's exploring  Seguine Mansion and Alice Austin House, while learning about the neighborhood of Great Kills or New Dorp, we are putting people in the know.
 I found it amazing that some Staten island’s more popular lakes like Silver Lake and Grasmere Lake were used for ice harvesting. I also learned that the Dutch mined Todt Hill for iron ore and the community was once called “Yserberg," the Dutch translation for Iron Hill. The community of Todt Hill was named Iron Hill prior to Todt hill. This is to name just a tiny amount of the research we collected on Staten Island towns and their history.
 
We have provided our visitors with of the most insightful research and reports on the history, origins and people that once called Staten Island their home. You can find out about Staten Island neighborhoods under our buying guide tab.   We hope you have fun knowing about what our hometown has evolved from. Over the next few weeks we will have even more history and facts about Staten Island for our visitors to enjoy.  See you then...

Locally, many potential home buyers and sellers like to catch a glimpse of what homes for sale are available within a particular neighborhood. While we do offer more advanced map searches, we found many of our website visitors like to make their home search more encompassing without some of the more technical map search features.

 Locals are also, more particularly, knowledgeable about the zip codes they live in or maybe looking to see what’s on the market. The difference between a zip code search and a particular neighborhood search is it covers more territory. For example, someone looking forward to seeing what homes for sale in 10314, would find listings within Bulls Head, Westerleigh, Manor heights, Castleton Corners, which gives the visitor a greater spectrum to work within. Same would be searching for homes in 10306, which would include New Dorp, Todt Hill, Grant City, Oakwood and Bay Terrace. What we are trying to accomplish is simplicity for our visitors, which is both more encompassing without having to be neighborhood specific. Not to mention, a bit simpler to navigate.  So if you’re looking for a home in 10301 on Staten Island’s North Shore, somewhere in between like 10308 or wander down to see what homes are available in 10307 on Staten Island southernmost side, we made it a bit more east to find.  

Once again, we continue to strive in providing our visitors a much simpler approach to finding their next home, or just browsing to see what’s up for sale in their community. See something you’d like us to help improve, as always, we’re open ears.
