"Giving an impression of urban, but nothing more than suburban"

It is a bit strange that the town of Grant City, which is no different than any other Staten Island town, adopted “City” as part of its name. Sometimes I think that the “City” in Grant City gives people the impression that this area may be more urban than suburban. So let’s put that theory to bed now, it’s not urban at all. Tree lined streets are the norm, not the exception, and quite simply the area affords a great quality of life.

From a development standpoint, Grant City stands at the hallmark of what a well planed town should look like and work like, because you can practically do everything there is to do without a car. Most of your essential shopping is within walking distance from anywhere in this neighborhood.

Grant City is also home to a mid rise condo complex on Lincoln and South Railroad Avenues, and from a pricing standpoint it makes a good alternative to renting. Commuting to Manhattan is also a relative breeze from here, as the SIRT (Train) has a stop in Grant City. Grant City’s proximity to the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge makes express bus service extremely efficient.
