For all its suburban ambiance, Staten Island is still, of course, one of the five boroughs of New York City, located right in the heart of the metropolitan area. St. Edwards Pointe is close to Long Island via the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, and just minutes to Perth Amboy, Woodbridge, Elizabeth and Bayonne with easy connections to a convenient network of superhighways and commuter services. And for those headed for Manhattan, there's the famous Staten Island Ferry service.
