Learn About Charleston

Charleston is a neighborhood with a deep industrial and residential heritage, originally known as Androvetteville after the family that settled there in the 1800s. It eventually became famous as the home of the Balthasar Kreischer brickworks, which provided the materials for many of New York City’s most iconic buildings. Today, Charleston is defined by its impressive transformation into a hub of modern convenience and preservation. It is home to the Clay Pit Ponds State Park Preserve, a 260-acre natural area that protected the site of the former clay mines, and the historic Kreischer Mansion, which still stands as a stunning example of Victorian architecture on the hill. Charleston is a growing South Shore Staten Island neighborhood known for newer residential developments and convenient access to shopping and major roadways.

✦ Why I Love Charleston ✦

What I love about Charleston is its unique duality—it feels like the frontier of the island where history meets a fresh, modern lifestyle. It is one of the few places where you can spend your morning hiking through the rugged, beautiful trails of Clay Pit Ponds and your afternoon enjoying the high-end shopping and dining at The Bricktown Centre.

There is an expansive, open feeling to Charleston that you don’t find in many other neighborhoods. It offers a perfect sense of retreat and space, making it an ideal destination for those who want the quiet of the neighborhood without sacrificing the perks of a thriving, contemporary community.
