These Are the Hottest NYC Neighborhoods for 2019

The New York Post has named St. George one of the hottest NYC neighborhoods for 2019, recognizing the area’s rapid growth in amenities, real estate development, and improved livability. Central to this momentum is Triangle Equities’ Lighthouse Point, a transformative mixed-use project on the St. George waterfront adjacent to the ferry terminal. The 1.5-acre site is redefining Staten Island’s North Shore with residential, hospitality, retail, and public space components woven into the historic waterfront fabric.

Lighthouse Point Highlights:

• 120 residential units (20% designated affordable)
• A 175-room Westin hotel including 15,000 sq. ft. of event space
• Ground-floor retail anchored by a fresh food market
• A 65,000 sq. ft. commercial base featuring office and coworking space
• Over an acre of publicly accessible waterfront plaza for year-round activation

Together with Empire Outlets — NYC’s first outlet shopping destination, located next door — Lighthouse Point is a key contributor to St. George’s evolution into a regional destination. Its strategic transit access, diverse retail offerings, and strong public/private backing align it with other rising neighborhoods like Greenpoint, Hudson Yards, Melrose, and Downtown Brooklyn in Localize.city’s citywide forecast.
