About the neighborhood

Where Thoreau came to stay

Steep and wooded, Emerson Hill rises above Staten Island with views stretching from the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge across New York Harbor to New Jersey's Highlands. Judge William Emerson, brother of Ralph Waldo, built his estate here in the mid-1800s, and the family home hosted Henry David Thoreau for a season. Older center-hall colonials, English Tudors, and stone cottages hold the southern slopes, with newer houses tucked into the trees to the north.

Many roads, including Douglas Road, Tanglewood Drive, and Longfellow Avenue, are private, marked by stone gates rather than a formal gated entrance. Residents have long defended the tree cover, and the Greenbelt's trails and local shops sit minutes away. The trade is winding access for genuine seclusion inside the city.
