I'm moving to Staten Island soon, and am going to be looking at real estate. Which neighborhoods would you advise one stay away from?

Staten Island is up and coming its over populated and extremely crowded. I just left there n moved to FL - Bad neighborhoods are all over the place they blend with the great ones its a catch 22 you have to go and drive around. I lived in Westerleigh its gorgeous but if you go down Forest ave, by Pathmark it sucks and if you go up Forest ave towards Bement Ave its gorgeous. Like I said a catch 22. Tysens Lane in Oakwood, beautiful - All around Oakwood is very nice. If you need to commute to the city the easiest place to be is in Westerleigh in that area. From Forest Ave to Victory boulevard between Jewett Avenue through Clove Road, Davis Avenue, Bement Avenue, ABOVE FOREST avenue is very very nice. You will fall in love with the homes. HAVE FUN GOD BLESS!! O and someone mentioned staying away from St. George - good place to purchase the new Ferry Terminal with the SI Yankee stadium is making that area become more like Greenich Village in the city they are making a huge turn around there. Look at everything!!

Mariners Harbor is horrible..........I live there now and there were already 3 shootings near my house and two murders....Not a great place to raise your kids... Also, even if you lived in the good areas, the rich kids are worst than the kids in the bad neighborhoods because they all want to mock every mafia movie ever made... My suggestion is to move to bergen county in New Jersey or upstate new York

Also avoid living near Fresh Kills landfill. It's closed but it still reaks. Also avoid living along the S.I. Expressway.
