Living here

A working-port corner at the island's edge.

Howland Hook occupies Staten Island's far northwest tip, defined by the Howland Hook Marine Terminal - one of the region's major container ports - and the Goethals Bridge into New Jersey. It is primarily an industrial and logistics district with only a small residential presence.

For most buyers, the story here is what is nearby: the neighboring residential streets of Mariners Harbor and Arlington, and unbeatable access to New Jersey and the West Shore Expressway. If you are exploring this corner of the island, I can point you to the right adjacent blocks.
