Outer borough living between the South Shore and Brookfield Park
Great Kills, at the north end of the South Shore, is a microcosm of the best things Staten Island has to offer. A beach and marina on the southeast side support local yacht clubs, several small shopping plazas put grocery and home essentials within reach, and four-star Italian restaurants serve excellent meals. Plus, housing styles that vary from 3,000-square-foot single-family homes to townhouse developments and co-op complexes fit a wide budget range. “It has a little bit of everything that someone’s looking for in a neighborhood,” says Joann Impellizine, who has 17 years of experience selling real estate on Staten Island. “That’s where the draw comes in, because it’s so convenient.”
Great Kill Yacht Club just turned 100 years old and is a community favorite.

Ranches, townhouses and co-ops below $1 million
Throughout Great Kills, single-family ranch and colonial-style homes start around $625,000, and larger and newer raised ranches and modern colonials go for around $1 million. There are many attached and semi-detached townhouses priced from the low $400,000s to the high $700,000s, including in newly built developments near the Great Kills Harbor. Two-family duplexes start around $750,000 and go up to $1.5 million depending on age and size. On the east side, brick mid-rise condo complexes, one of which is connected to a mini mall, have units priced from $475,000 to $575,000. And on the west side, the postwar Armstrong Gardens complex has co-op units priced around $200,000.

Beaches on the harbor and restored nature areas
As a National Park, Great Kills Park has a well-maintained beach, playground and marina right on the Atlantic Ocean. The inland green space of Great Kills Park is mostly closed off to clean up radioactive material in the waste fill used to expand the area decades ago. But residents can take forested walks around the ponds in King Fisher and Siedenburg parks, and in the scenic wetlands north in Brookfield Park. During the summer, the members-only Great Kills Swim Club is also a popular community hub.
The Great Kills Park features a beach, playground, boating docks, and walking trails.

Strip-mall shopping and frutti di mare
Amboy Road and Hylan Boulevard, which run east and west through Great Kills, are the neighborhood’s main dining and shopping strips. “Having so many choices of restaurants is one of the best things about living there,” Impellizine says. Italian cuisine and seafood are the most common, but there’s also Arirang Hibachi — “a staple on Staten Island,” Impellizine says. The Marina Cafe has views of Great Kills Harbor, and for groceries there’s a Stop & Shop on Amboy Road just west of the neighborhood.
