Suburban charm at Staten Island’s southernmost point
At the very end of Staten Island, behind North Mount Loretto State Forest, Tottenville offers a New York City version of small-town America. Amboy Road, the main thoroughfare, is dotted with locally owned businesses and colonial and Victorian houses sporting American flags. Despite being a bit secluded, Tottenville has a diverse mix of restaurants, plus express buses and railway stations to connect residents to the rest of the city. “I’ve moved out to Manhattan, but I always come back to Tottenville because of the convenience, the expressway, and because every store you need is within walking distance,” says Kerry DeBellis, a Tottenville resident with 24 years of real estate experience. “My favorite part is that it has a hometown feel with the main street, and it’s very community based. A lot of people raise their families here.”

Townhouse communities, classic Cape Cods and million-dollar mansions
Tottenville is primarily residential, with compact and well-manicured lawns, and a few culs-de-sac on the east side that signal high-end suburbia. “It’s more of an upper-class neighborhood in respect to the prices,” DeBellis says. “But there’s also a beautiful condo community on the beach where you can get more affordable property.” In Surfside Village, attached units range from vinyl condos for $450,000 to larger stone-and-stucco townhouses with pool and ocean views for $650,000. North, brick and vinyl semi-detached houses are priced from $550,000 to $750,000. Cape Cods and colonials start around $600,000 and go up to $1 million for larger or newer properties, and raised ranches start at $800,000. Two-family homes range from $750,000 to just over $1 million, and beyond that price point, single-family homes tend to be new traditional properties over 3,000 square feet with stone facades and Victorian or colonial details. From $1.5 million to $3 million, there are sprawling estates and mansions with waterfront views.

Dining on main street or at the waterfront

In the northeast corner, La Bella Marketplace sells specialty Italian foods along with groceries, and nearby, the Tottenville Commons shopping center has Top Tomato grocers and popular chain restaurants. During the summer, Angelina’s Restaurant and Paradise Island serve more refined fare with waterfront views.

Baseball fields, forest preserves and beaches with a view
Tottenville has several wooded parks on the east end, the biggest being North Mount Loretto State Forest, with hiking trails and fishing ponds. Nearby are baseball diamonds for Little League players, and up north are marinas for docking boats. On the west side, Conference House Park has a dog park, playground and a beach with views of New Jersey. “Nobody looks at Staten Island as a place with pretty beaches,” DeBellis says. “But to live right next to a beach, that’s kind of priceless.”

The area is pretty safe and quite. There aren't many cases of gun violence or gang activity. There are occasional attempted break-ins/robberies or domestic disputes.
