Suburban South Shore living with ocean views
After the Verrazzano Bridge opened in 1964, Staten Island went through a three-decade residential construction boom. While that momentum faded as all the usable land plots had houses built on them, construction continued in Prince’s Bay for a little longer than other South Shore neighborhoods. “We get more knockdowns and builds because there’s not much land for sale anymore,” says Kevin Bryant, a local real estate agent with six years of experience. “But I do see a house being torn down and rebuilt over there like every other day.” As recently as 2021, a string of new single-family homes was built at the southern end of the neighborhood, and farther south, a potential development of 108 homes may bring more suburban living options. “When you picture your house with the white picket fence, that’s the type of neighborhood you find here,” Bryant says.

Waterfront townhouses, luxury new construction and million-dollar mansions
Typical of South Shore neighborhoods, Prince’s Bay has a broad mix of housing styles. “You could have townhouses across the street from a $2 million-dollar home,” Bryant says. Here, plenty of new-traditional luxury listings make average home prices high. “It’s more of your step-up living,” Bryant says. “People are usually selling their first home to purchase their next home here.” Modest attached townhouses on the south side start around $550,000 and go up to $750,000 in Captain’s Quarters, a private development with a swimming pool. Nearby, St. Edwards Pointe is another development with stucco-and-stone single-family homes priced around $1.2 million. Heading north, ranches start around $700,000, and colonials start at $850,000. Prices go up to $1.4 million for increasingly larger properties, and from there to $1.7 million are sprawling estates and Mediterranean-inspired waterfront villas. Multifamily home prices can go beyond $2 million for massive buildings, but most start around $800,000.

Centrally located pizza, sushi and bagels
At the center of Prince’s Bay, two strip malls host the neighborhood’s restaurants — including one of the South Shore’s only Starbucks — and most of the locally owned businesses. Casual Italian eateries serve pizza, pasta and sandwiches, and Japanese and Chinese restaurants offer some variety. For groceries, residents need to drive a little over 3 miles either north to the Key Foods in Arden Heights or east to the Stop & Shop in Eltingville.

I moved here 4 years ago from Palm Springs California. It is a beautiful neighborhood where you get to know your neighbors, there are many local stores I am to walk to and the train and bus is within walking distance. I have really enjoyed living here. Beautiful suburban feel with the city within reach.
