The short version
The island sits inside city limits but lives like a string of neighborhoods: St. George by the ferry is the most urban and walkable, mid-island spots like New Dorp, Dongan Hills, and Great Kills sit on the Staten Island Railway, and the South Shore — Tottenville, Annadale, Eltingville — feels the most suburban and takes the longest to cross.

The hard parts
Most of the island beyond the St. George ferry area effectively requires a car, adding roughly $700-900 a month, and southern neighborhoods have the longest commutes.

Living in Staten Island, NY
Staten Island pairs New York City benefits with detached homes, private driveways, and backyards rarely found in the other boroughs. Settle in transit-connected St. George or leafy Westerleigh, unwind at Snug Harbor or the Greenbelt, and plan on keeping a car—navigating cross-island hospital shifts demands your own wheels along the Staten Island Expressway.

“But time has helped to settle the question and a trained nurse’s position now is largely what she herself makes it.”
Most of what a dying person's family needs is to hear that nothing has gone wrong, that this is what dying looks like, and that they are caring for them well.
