All about the Staten Island Zoo:

The Staten Island Zoo is an 8 acre suburban zoo in the West New Brighton section of Staten Island. The zoo is open all year, with the exception of Christmas, New Year's Day and Thanksgiving. The Staten Island Zoo (also known as Barrett Park) can be traced back to three Staten Island War Heroes; Major Clarence Barrett, Colonel Richard Penn Smith, and Colonel Edward Harden.

The Best Kept Secret On The North Shore

All about Lower Todt Hill:

Lower Todt Hill in Staten Island is a residential neighborhood located just south of the Staten Island Island Expressway between Todt Hill Road to the east and Manor Road to the west. Lower Todt Hill is surrounded by beautiful areas like Todt Hill, Emerson Hill and Castleton Corners.

The homes in our Community include single and multi family homes and are a little more affordable than real estate in the surrounding neighborhoods.

If you take a walk down the…
