A relaxed suburban enclave with convenient proximity to other boroughs
Grasmere is a tranquil Staten Island neighborhood known for its suburban feel, tree lined streets and access to the only freshwater swimming lake in New York City, Brady’s Pond. Located on the island’s northeastern shore, it offers quick commutes to Brooklyn and Manhattan via the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge and the Staten Island Ferry. The area features diverse home styles—from lakefront cottages to custom colonials—along with parks, beaches, and family-friendly amenities that make it a sought-after place to live.
A diverse range of single-family homes with lakefront views
Grasmere’s prime location contributes to home prices that are nearly $200,000 higher than elsewhere on Staten Island. The neighborhood’s cul-de-sacs keep traffic to a minimum, ensuring a peaceful environment for residents and their visitors. Buyers have a wide selection of housing, including raised ranches near the lake, Colonial Revivals, Tudor cottages, Cape Cods and custom builds, plus Mediterranean and Tuscan-style villas around the lake and pond. Prices generally range from $760,000 to just under $1 million. “Houses are averaging in the low-$800s right now,” says Angela Leaver, a licensed real estate associate broker with RE/MAX Edge. “Grasmere, for the north shore of Staten Island, will also fetch more than other surrounding areas like Concord or Old Town.” Options also include one-bedroom condos in brick mid-rise buildings starting around $275,000 and townhomes from about $650,000. “There are two major condo developments: Hills at Grasmere and Stone Gate. They’re in very close proximity to the Verrazano Bridge without having to get involved with the Expressway,” Leaver adds.
Manicured lawns are the norm in the quiet Grasmere neighborhood.
Nicely sized condos and townhomes can be found in Grasmere.

Private lake with historic greenspace to the west
The 15-acre lake known as Brady’s Pond is the only freshwater lake in the city that can be used for swimming. Access is limited to residents, as the Cameron Club has privately owned it since the 1930s. Those living nearby can use the dock, beach, waterslide and sand volleyball court. The public is free to roam the adjacent Brady’s Pond Park. Other green and recreational spaces include:
Cameron Pond, also privately owned and subject to lake rights
Old Town Playground, just south of the neighborhood
Fort Wadsworth Gateway National Recreation area, with waterfront green space and an old fortress
Grasmere is also less than a mile from South Beach, Staten Island’s most popular outdoor destination, where folks spend the days sunbathing or jogging along the boardwalk and the nights enjoying free concerts and spectacular fireworks during the summer months.
Brady's Pond Park offers many activities for Grasmere residents during the summer.

Italian-centric dining on Hylan Boulevard
Hylan Boulevard forms a crescent-shaped boundary along the southern and eastern borders of the Grasmere neighborhood, providing its residents with a variety of Italian-inspired bakeries, restaurants and markets. “We see a lot of diversity in Staten Island," Leaver says. "A lot of different ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds, which add to the overall fabric and make it an interesting place to live. It’s really unique." This diversity is reflected in Grasmere's range of dining options:
Nino’s Restaurant offers authentic homestyle dishes and an extensive wine selection
Café Luna serves a more traditional Sicilian menu in a down-to-earth atmosphere
Bocelli’s features seafood-forward Italian fare
Fuji Sushi whips up sashimi and other Japanese favorites
Royal Crown Bakery displays a colorful variety of baked goods, including pastries and cakes
