We recently moved here from Brooklyn. We chose West Brighton as one of the more walkable neighborhoods on Staten Island. Schools, parks, restaurants, cafes, and shops are all within a short walk.
The residential streets are lined with trees and the houses are charming and relatively affordable by NYC standards, and even Staten Island standards. Clove Lakes park, Silver Lake park and Snug Harbor are all top notch. Forest Ave has some of the best restaurants on the Island. Our neighbors are really friendly and welcoming. Commute has a few options - there are express buses that take you directly to Manhattan, or its a 15 min local bus or bike ride to the ferry.
All in all we're very happy with our new neighborhood! I think it strikes a nice balance between suburban livability and urban convenience.

I've lived in this neighborhood for almost 17 years the street I live on is very safe I'm close to the hospital which is great this neighborhood has lovely restaurants like Panini Grill, Cafe Milano and others. The people in this neighborhood are very friendly . We have some lovely parks Clove Lakes Park ,Silver Lakes Park and Walker Park just to name a few. it's also close to the Staten Island Ferry and just arrived on the 44 bus to the Staten Island Mall. The schools in this neighborhood a very safe but I would have to say if you don't have to send your kid to PS 18 then don't that's only from experience they have done a lot with that school but just the area I'm not too fond about.
My neighborhood is the most peaceful and suburban environment I have stayed at. There are a wide variety of restaurants down the block and everything that from restaurants to plazas are located down the street. Additionally, my house resides in the corner of the neighborhood and it is the perfect location to view the sunrise and sunset each day. This is definitely considered a perfect neighborhood since it is right next to our incredible zoo and up the block, it is convenient to be able to get membership at the Y.M.C.A.
