St George
What's it like to live in St George?
The secret's getting out about St. George, where historic homes with Manhattan views rent for what a studio would cost across the harbor. A surprising number of pre-war buildings offer details you'd pay millions for in Brooklyn – parquet floors, crown moldings, and foyers that actually deserve the name. The free Staten Island Ferry provides the most scenic commute in New York, with 24-hour service enabling actual nightlife without car dependency. Unlike most Staten Island neighborhoods, you can easily manage without a vehicle here, walking to restaurants, theaters, and the St. George Library with its stunning harbor views. One insider tip: apartments on the hill require more stair-climbing but reward with spectacular bridge and skyline panoramas.
