Search this neighborhoodStapleton and Port Richmond form Staten Island Community District 1, the borough's densest and most urban district, running along the North Shore from the St. George ferry terminal west to the Bayonne Bridge. The district includes St. George, Tompkinsville, Stapleton, West Brighton, Port Richmond, and Mariners Harbor, with the Kill Van Kull forming its industrial northern waterfront.
Though more compact and transit-connected than the rest of Staten Island, the North Shore remains largely a low-rise, car-oriented landscape of one- and two-family homes, semi-attached houses, and older row housing along corridors like Richmond Terrace, Forest Avenue, and Bay Street. It is the most economically and ethnically diverse part of the borough and the only district with direct ferry and rail access to the rest of the city.
