Randall Manor, Staten Island

Randall Manor, Staten Island

Randall Manor is a neighborhood located on the North Shore of Staten Island. The island comprises one of the five boroughs of New York City, USA.

The neighborhood is bound by Bard Avenue in the West, Henderson Avenue to the North and Forest Avenue to the South.

Named after Captain Robert Randall, the founder of Sailors Snug Harbor, the neighborhood lies immediately to the south of the latter, between New Brighton and West Brighton.

Randall Manor is one of the few affluent enclaves on Staten Island not situated upon the backbone of hills that run diagonally across the island from northeast to southwest, which include Emerson Hill and Todt Hill. Development in the area had largely been completed by the time the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge opened in 1964, so Randall Manor has been almost unaffected by the construction boom that accompanied the bridge's opening. Possessing the advantage of being located in proximity to the St. George ferry terminal, Randall Manor remains one of the most desirable and attractive locations on the island.
