Living here

An affordable North Shore corner close to New Jersey.

Arlington sits on Staten Island's northwest shoulder, next to Mariners Harbor and the Arlington Marsh, one of the last stretches of natural shoreline on the North Shore. It is a modest, working neighborhood of single-family and semi-attached homes on quiet streets, priced well below the island average.

The draw here is value and access. You are minutes from the Goethals Bridge into New Jersey and the West Shore Expressway, which makes commuting off the island simple. It is practical, unpretentious, and one of the more attainable ways onto the North Shore.
