St. George sits right at the Staten Island Ferry terminal, with views across the harbor to lower Manhattan. It's the island's civic and cultural center, with the courthouse, Borough Hall and the St. George Theatre.

It has the most urban feel on the island, with apartment buildings and historic homes on the hills above the water.
