Livingston Ave, Sunnyside

The neighborhood of Livingston in Staten Island offers elegant tree-lined streets with well kept homes in a variety of styles. There is little traffic and 1950s feel in the air. The area is very suburban, somewhat rural as noted by locals, even though downtown Manhattan is just seven miles away.

Livingston is at the northern edge of Staten Island, on the Kill Van Kull, directly across from Bayonne, N.J. Walker Park, covering 5.3 acres, whose main entrance is at Delafield Place and Bard Avenue, is central to the neighborhood. The Community Association holds its monthly meetings in the clubhouse at the park. Softball, basketball, football and tennis players find games at the park. The area is great for kids and young people wanting to participate in outdoor sports. The neighborhood also has several private preschools and elementary schools.

Little mileage needs to be put on your car while living in Livingston because everything your family needs is so conveniently located. Even the Staten Island Ferry is either a nice half-hour walk away along the new North Shore promenade that encircles the ballpark at St. George or just a short hop on any of four buses along Richmond Terrace.
