Maple Ter, Staten Island, NY 10306

"I've lived here my whole life I love it! I Always have and I always will! Most of my neighbors are awesome some are even family! I live in my grandparents house they bought it in the 1920's and my family's been here ever since my other grandparents lived here also till they passed and both of my parents grew up in this neighborhood. I met my life long friends in this neighborhood! I doubt I'll ever leave!"

"I grew up in & bought my 1st house in Richmondtown, S.I. A lovely community to be sure. Sold that home 10 years ago & my husband & I bought a home in New Dorp Beach. I now understand why several generations of families still live here. We enjoy living on a quiet little block with the ability to walk to so many things. We can eat at Nini's Cafe or DiSara or just order a pizza: take the grandkids around the block for for ice cream or pick up some groceries or a newspaper at not 1, but 3 delis. Breakfast or lunch at the new Harvest Cafe, a drink after dinner at the new pub. We drop our cars off at the neighborhood garage & walk back when they're ready. Need something for your computer? We have it. Car service? We have that too. Bus service?...that too. Churches & schools...ditto. Get in your car & there is nothing you can't get to in just minutes. All sorts of shopping, supermarkets, a movie theater, dry cleaner, doctors & dentists, lawyers, banks, fast food... the list goes on & on. Transportation is also a snap from this neighborhood. Express & local buses, train are all nearby & it's a pretty short, straight run to the Verrazano Bridge. This is also a recreational paradise. You can go fishing, take the kids to several playgrounds, there is always something going on at Gateway park. You can ride bikes, roller blade, watch a soccer or baseball game, From Miller field you can access the boaedwalk & take it all the way to the bridge."
