Where else in New York City can you find deer in your backyard and fish in the streams? Staten Island apartments and rentals bring the benefits of a suburban style life to the metropolitan area.

You get a unique slice of New York, here. Take the ferry over and get to know Staten Island.
Henry Hudson gave this island its name in 1609. Staaten Eylandt literally means States Island and it honors the Dutch parliament, Staaten-Generaal. The Dutch attempted to establish settlements here, but Native Americans held them off until 1661. A decade later, the Dutch ceded Staten Island to the English, who built up what became New Dorp. It was from this area that British General Howe staged his attack on Manhattan during the Revolutionary War. The English also first caught wind of the Declaration of Independence on Staten Island. In 1898, Staten Island became a borough. The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge connected it to Brooklyn in 1964, and that brought a residential and commercial development boom. In the 1980s, 65% of Staten Island voted to secede from New York City, but the State Assembly blocked the move.
Staten Island is more removed from the urban heart of New York, but it's still part of the city. The Staten Island Ferry from St. George to Manhattan is free. Many tourists take the trip just to enjoy the view of Liberty and Ellis islands. There's no subway, but the Staten Island Railway operates trains and the MTA has bus service. Many residents commute by car, across what was once the largest suspension bridge in the world, the Verrazano-Narrows.
Because of its ample space, Staten Island serves as a haven for artists, musicians, and filmmakers. The boroughs primary industries are finance, insurance, public administration, construction, transportation, and health care. In terms of education, many students look to the College of Staten Island, part of the City College of New York system.
