21 nursing jobs in Staten Island, NY

North Shore spots like St. George (ferry terminal, most urban/walkable core with new development) and nearby Stapleton/Tompkinsville suit commuting professionals; mid-island New Dorp/Dongan Hills and Great Kills offer suburban SIR-access living; South Shore Tottenville and Annadale/Eltingville feel most suburban with longer trips; Westerleigh is noted for starter homes and Todt Hill for luxury.

Ferry is free and ferry-plus-subway to Manhattan typically runs 45–75 minutes each way; express buses are another option; most of the island beyond the St. George ferry area effectively requires a car (adding roughly $700–900/month), with southern neighborhoods having the longest commutes.

Guides frame Staten Island as NYC’s last frontier of value and the place the city goes to breathe—more square footage, driveways, yards or basements, and a suburban close-knit feel inside city limits—while accepting a lifestyle shift from subway noise to ferry or express-bus schedules.
