A residential pocket of Staten Island surrounded by greenspace
Once home to sheep meadows and farmland, Staten Island’s Sunnyside is now a family-oriented community that’s walkable to parks and is convenient to both the St. George Ferry Terminal and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge via the Staten Island Expressway. The enclave was also once home to a healthy population of Italian immigrants who settled there because it looked like home, according to John Lauria, an agent at Tom Crimmins Realty. The Vanderbilt Family even built real estate in Sunnyside in the first half of the 19th century, some of which still stands. Today, the neighborhood offers tree-lined streets and “a diverse community, in terms of the types of homes, as well as the population,” says Lauria, a Staten Island native who has lived in Sunnyside since 1974.
Sunnyside is a quiet neighborhood in Staten Island, New York.

Colonials and ranches in an upscale enclave
The housing stock is a mix of single- and two-family colonial-style, Tudor-inspired and ranch homes, with some townhouses and multi-family developments in the mix, according to Lauria. “Homes in the neighborhood are on the high side, price-wise,” he says. “If you’re lucky and find a house that needs work, it might be half a million. Prices can go up to well over $1 million, closer to $2 million as you go up the hill toward Grymes Hill. In Staten Island, homes on the hills tend to be the most expensive.”
Colonial homes in Sunnyside can be found filling a full block with manicured lawns and garages.
Split brick ranches in Sunnyside average close to one million dollars.
