Hilltop residential tranquility with a view

A serene and affluent neighborhood perched atop a hill at the center of Staten Island, Lighthouse Hill takes its name from the still-operating Staten Island Range Lighthouse, built in 1912. The area’s elevated vantage point provides residents with spectacular views of New York Harbor and surrounding parks, and with a CAP Index score of 1, crime is very low. Realtor Giovanna Cardinale of Neuhaus Realty describes Lighthouse Hill as “one of the most sought-after and central neighborhoods of Staten Island.”

Parks, beaches and museums

Directly to the north is the 500-acre LaTourette Park and Golf Course, part of the Staten Island Greenbelt network of parks. The green space contains many hiking trails, a nature center and a historic mansion that serves as the golf course clubhouse. It is also one of a handful of places where it is legal to fly a drone in New York City. To the south, Great Kills Park and Great Kills Beach offer waterside recreation and views of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. The area’s 18th-century roots can be explored at neighboring Historic Richmond Town, a 100-acre preserved colonial town and farm museum home to 30 historic buildings and farms. Established in 1958, the museum hosts seasonal festivals and events year round. Lighthouse Hill’s Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art, a collection of several thousand pieces dating to the 15th century, frequently hosts yoga and meditation classes.
