On a price per square foot basis Staten Island consistently offers more space for less money than Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, or the Bronx. For buyers priced out of Brooklyn single-family homes, neighborhoods like Great Kills, Tottenville, and Annadale offer comparable properties at significantly lower prices. The trade-off is the commute — the Staten Island Ferry and Expressway are the primary Manhattan connections. For buyers where commute is less critical, the value proposition is hard to ignore. LavaZoo features Staten Island residential and commercial listings including off-market properties from local owners who prefer direct relationships.
