Historic Staten Island neighborhood with modestly priced homes
Situated between the slopes of Todt Hill and New York Bay-facing Ocean Breeze Park, Dongan Hills is a historic Staten Island neighborhood with modestly priced homes, tons of green space, ample shopping and reliable transportation links. This mostly residential area was among the first to be settled in the borough. Built in 1663 by Dutch colonialists, the Billiou-Stillwell-Perine House is one of the oldest surviving structures in the city. The neighborhood takes its name from Thomas Dongan, the first governor of New York Province after England acquired it from the Netherlands in 1682. However, it wasn’t till the completion of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in the early 1960s that Dongan Hills fully came into its own as an urban residential neighborhood. “Most homes were constructed between the 1950s and 1990s," says Joe Tirone, a broker with Compass and local expert. “Though they are modestly priced compared to nearby areas, they tend to get more expensive further inland and closer to Todt Hill.”
