A quiet Staten Island neighborhood where the city meets the sea
Located on Staten Island’s eastern shore, Midland Beach wasn’t always the tranquil seaside neighborhood it is today. Beginning in the 19th century, Midland Beach was a bustling beachside resort town for prominent New York families, which included amusement attractions, theaters, and a casino. Today, the hubbub has mellowed out and those summer bungalows have since been converted into year-round residences. “Midland Beach is all about convenience,” says Minnie Lin of Momentum Real Estate. “It’s so close to Brooklyn. It’s right on the coast, it’s quiet, and there are lots of local supermarkets.” Nearby, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge connects Midland Beach to Brooklyn, and many locals opt to take the 25-minute commute to Manhattan on the Staten Island ferry. Community pride runs deep in Midland Beach, and public art installations and colorful murals along the Midland Beach Promenade celebrate the community’s resilience and express the values that helped bring neighbors together, especially in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.

Three grocery stores are in the neighborhood proper: Istanbul Grand Bazaar with fresh produce and halal meats, Family Fruit Hylan and HL Supermarket hard-to-find, imported foods, as well as several smaller bodega-style markets.

A popular boardwalk and beach with plenty of recreational amenities
Just steps from many homes at the namesake Midland Beach, locals will find a stretch of soft sand, grassy dunes, a popular boardwalk and the Lower Harbor and Raritan Bay. Franklin D. Roosevelt Boardwalk and Beach stretches for nearly 2.5 miles along the coastline and includes several recreational amenities. Locals can find playgrounds for kids, skate parks, basketball courts, soccer fields and dog-friendly areas. There are also several historical memorials and markers along the boardwalk and beach areas, including the Midland Beach War Memorial. In the South Beach section, there’s even a small area of the beach designed with seniors in mind, featuring chess tables and comfortable benches with views of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
