A residential neighborhood with quiet, breezy blocks
When the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge opened on the east side of Staten Island in 1964, New Yorkers began pouring across the bay to escape densely congested neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens — a practice that continues today. “The big draws are parking, having a driveway and quiet blocks,” explains Kevin Bryant a licensed real estate broker at Compass. There’s not much traffic in the neighborhood; it’s a neighborhood made of cozy residential side streets. However, its proximity to the bridges, highways and Staten Island Ferry makes it centrally located.
Graniteville offers residents a comfortable and convenient lifestyle.

Predominantly townhomes and semi-attached homes on cozy side streets
Home prices hover in the neighborhood of $400,000 to $800,000 and the median home price is roughly $506,000. Much like other neighborhoods on Staten Island, Graniteville has a healthy array of housing styles including Colonial, Cape Cod, Tudor and High Ranch. “You see a lot of townhomes, semi-attached homes and condos in Graniteville,” says Bryant, which makes the neighborhood a good choice for a starter home. A 1980s 2-bedroom condo with a dedicated parking garage lists for between $400,000 to $450,000, while a 2000s 3-bedroom townhouse with a dedicated outdoor parking spot could fetch between $500,000 to $680,000. Likewise, a 1970s semi-attached Tudor-style home with 4 bedrooms starts at $650,000.

Two local parks named after Granite, including Graniteville Quarry Park
Without getting into it too much, Graniteville was actually named after its association with the granite industry. Trap rock quarries were operating in the neighborhood from 1841 to 1896. However, according to College of Staten Island professor, geologist Alan Benimoff, the name is a misnomer, as the quarry contained no granite. All that being said, Graniteville Quarry Park – once a dumping ground and now a city park – is a unique geological area characterized by its otherworldly rock and mineral formations. Similarly, Graniteville Swamp Park Ecology has been designated an area of protection by the Harbor Herons Wildlife Refuge, as it serves many vital ecological functions, such as recharging groundwater, filtering runoff from surrounding areas, storing stormwater to prevent flooding and stabilizing water levels.
Graniteville Swamp Park is Preserve located in the Graniteville section of Staten Island.
Graniteville Quarry Park is a small neighborhood park in Staten Island.

The neighborhood is definitely getting worse. We have heard of break ins and attempts at car stealing in my neighborhood and on my street. A few times, my car tires were damaged because someone had left nails in front of the car.
