Neighborhood Description The neighborhood is predominantly single-family homes and is zoned for the most part for such. There is some interspersion of very tasteful and nicely designed and built attached housing. The neighborhood has a nice asthetic appeal. You have the trees and the beautiful hills in the background of Sparkhill and Emerson Hill with nice greenery throughout the various surrounding streets. This is a walker's neighborhood as it is pedestrian friendly. The street that this house is located on is a connector-street but remains a quiet place where one will see children and adults feeling free to navigate. You essentially have a nice blend of urban and classic Staten Island. A very convenient neighborhood. A short walk (approx. 3 blocks) to the Staten Island Rapid Transit train. A little further takes you to Hylan Boulevard with the local and expres bus stops. On the street directly behind the house are local and express bus stops. It is a very short ride to the Staten Island expressway and direct access to the Verazzano bridge. Within walking distance and a very short drive is almost everything that you can think of including shopping, convenience, medical and pharmacy, schools and houses of worship. This is a convenient location that allows you to avoid practically all of the island's traffic issues. This property is less than twenty minutes by car away from two of the island's universities. You could literally not drive and live conveniently here. If you do drive it is a dream compared to most of the island.
