Great Kills - Whats In A Name?

Great Kills

 Located on New York's, Staten Island South Shore neighborhood.  According to the Wikipedia Kills is an old Dutch word with various translations including "creek and channel" and many creeks dot this neighborhood.  At the Southeastern corner of the neighborhood you can find Gateway National Recreation Area formerly known as Great Kills Park.  The park has excellent walking paths and nature trails, boat docks and fishing piers and beach and concession.  The area is vast with views of the Harbor and grassy areas and trees.

 I recently listed a property in Great Kills. Here is a description:

Oversized one family on a Beautiful residential block.  Garage and paver driveway, plenty of storage, hardwood floors thru-out, eat in kitchen with sliding glass door to deck and yard. All good sized rooms and nice open floor plan. 3 Bedroom 3 Bath 1861 sq ft house and 2352 sq ft lot.

Concetta - Have you found focusing on "Great Kills" to be a plus or a minus in the marketing of this home?

Great Kills is a odd name for a town and I can see why anyone would ask that question.  But, Great Kills is a very established neighborhood on Staten Island and easy access to shopping and public transportation to the City. Once you drive thru it you forget the name.
