A breezy residential neighborhood with quiet, tree-lined streets
A salty gust of air blows through the cozy residential streets of Ocean Breeze. For a South Beach, Mid Island neighborhood, it's quite a bit smaller and quieter than other nearby locales. On these house-lined streets, neighbors know each other on a first-name basis and yellow school buses are frequently parked alongside streets. The beach is about a 15-minute walk or a 3-minute drive from anywhere in the neighborhood, which means, on most days, residents can hear the whispering ocean waves washing to the shore. From the golden sand beach, there’s a cinematic view of the world’s largest suspension bridge, the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, overlooking Gravesend Bay and greater Brooklyn.
Ocean Breeze is a small neighborhood along the water near the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.
Located right on New York Harbor, Ocean Breeze has majestic ocean views.

Predominantly detached semi-attached multi-family homes with spacious yards
The neighborhood is mostly made up of detached single-family and semi-attached single-family homes, many of which have clapboard siding and brick-clad facades, or some combination of the two. “Most homes were built between the 1960s and 1980s," says Francine Reali, a broker with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Safari Realty and local expert. “Compared to other nearby neighborhoods, the homes here are modestly priced. As a general rule of thumb, they tend to get more expensive further inland and closer to Todt Hill.” A 1960’s single-family detached Ranch-style home with a brick-clad facade and 3 bedrooms could list for between $720,000 and $900,000. Further inland, there are rows of multi-family duplexes, townhouses and semi-detached duplexes that list for between $650,000 and $950,000. Most of the newer homes are built on elevated foundations as a safeguard for potential flooding, which is always a potential risk for seaside neighborhoods.

Golden sand beaches at Midland Beach and lush greenspace at Ocean Breeze Park
As one of the sandiest Staten Island neighborhoods, Ocean Breeze is lined by Midland Beach, a breezy shoreline with a 2.5-mile boardwalk. In addition to the famous sea turtle fountain which kids love to run through forever and a day, there are shuffleboard and volleyball courts. Just next door, Ocean Breeze Park spans 110 acres along a section of the beach, comprising cross-country trails, a rec center and a fishing pier. Plus, there’s a new, $112 million athletic complex in the park that features a fast track on hydraulic lifts designed for high-profile track-and-field competitions. The facility has a contemporary interior with seating for 2,500 – and it looks otherworldly when natural light streams through its windows.
Ocean Breeze Fishing Pier is a major feature and gathering point in the neighborhood.
The Ocean Breeze Track and Field Athletic Complex is a 135,000 square-foot facility.

Fast food picks include Wendy’s, Popeyes and McDonald’s.
