Emerson Hill is one of Staten Island’s most beautiful and distinctive residential neighborhoods. Often referred to locally as Lower Todt Hill, the area offers a unique combination of hillside views, quiet tree-lined streets, and elegant homes tucked into the landscape.

Homes here often sit on winding streets with elevated views, creating a peaceful residential setting that feels removed from the busier parts of the borough.

The neighborhood also sits close to several well-known Staten Island destinations, including Clove Lakes Park, the Staten Island Expressway, and shopping areas along Victory Boulevard and Manor Road, making commuting and errands relatively convenient.
