Review of Staten Island, New York


Do not move here
Star Rating - 10/6/2018
Low quality of life, expect a 60-90 minute commute if you live here as there are no jobs on the island. As for the people, they are very rude and miserable, have serious anger issues, and are extremely entitled. To top it off cost of living is SKYROCKETING. You pretty much need a car to live here and be independent, on top of astronomical housing costs (though lower than the rest of the city). Not much to do here in the way of entertainment/activities. I would not advise a move here.

Amanda - as a lifelong Staten Island myself and still living here waiting to retire, the only thing you forgot to mention is the extreme drug problem, especially on the south shore. It really impacts quality of life.

As for what I see of your review, I question who really has the serious anger issues..

Expensive housing. Lots of traffic at times, but still many times nicer than the rest of N...
