    "It is an affluent area for the most part. Homes are taken care of and it is safe. Homes are expensive and no one really uses buses or the train nearby. "

    "We have community events that involve food, fair and family entertainment. It happens a couple of times a year especially before summer ends and during the winter holidays. It’s a chance for the community to come together and enjoy some fun. It also gives stores and companies on new dorp lane a chance to get to be known better."

    "For Staten Island it's a pretty unique place as you can walk to a lot of places -- great restaurants, banks, cafes, bars, even a dine-in theater (coming soon). You are also just one 10-min stop away from the ferry if you take express train in the morning."
