Rich history and lower prices for single-family homes
Stapleton, on Staten Island's northeast shore along Upper New York Bay, is a neighborhood with a rich history and a dynamic future. Once home to a thriving brewery industry in the 19th century and notable figures like Cornelius Vanderbilt, it later became culturally influential through residents such as members of the Wu-Tang Clan. Today, Stapleton blends historic districts and Victorian homes with a growing food and arts scene, modern waterfront developments, and amenity-rich rentals. Following challenges like Hurricane Sandy, the area is now the focus of ambitious urban renewal projects aimed at boosting economic opportunity, enhancing quality of life and improving climate resiliency, making Stapleton one of Staten Island’s most evolving and diverse communities.

Historical homes of many styles, plus attached and semi-attached homes
Stapleton features a diverse mix of architectural styles—Greek Revival, Dutch Colonial, Second Empire and Colonial Revival—in its two historic districts: St. Paul’s Avenue–Stapleton Heights and Harrison Street. “Renovated homes in the historic districts sell very quickly, because anywhere else in the city they would be double the price,” says Compass agent Joseph Tirone. “It’s one of the remaining places on the North Shore that’s still somewhat affordable.” Expect to pay $800,000 to $1 million for these homes. More modest single-families list for $500,000 to $650,000, and multifamily homes start around $650,000, reaching $1.2 million for larger buildings. Though new construction is rare, townhomes and future development are on the rise, offering buyers a mix of historic charm and modern potential.
