A charming residential neighborhood within walking distance to the beach
On quiet days, residents of Oakwood can hear the ocean waves crashing to shore. Cedar Grove Beach lines the eastern border, ensconcing the neighborhood in a crisp velveteen breeze. Tree-lined streets along residential blocks, parks and greenspaces make for simple living amid natural beauty. The neighborhood is almost entirely domestic, comprised of detached single-family homes and a few multi-family properties peppered throughout. Here, neighbors know each other on a first-name basis and have been known to have community block parties a few times a year – for graduation, birthdays, anniversaries and so on. “People know New Dorp, but they don’t know Oakwood,” says Giovanna Cardinale, licensed broker at Neuhaus Realty, who has been named a top agent by the Staten Island Board of Realtors. “When people move to Staten Island, they tell me they want to live in the 06 zip code. That’s because it’s the perfect residential neighborhood in the heart of Staten Island with all the conveniences located along Hylan Boulevard.”
The Oakwood neighborhood's tree-lined streets contribute to its peaceful atmosphere.
Oakwood combines small-town charm with easy access to the city.
