Why Staten Island Is Called the Forgotten Borough — And Why Residents Love Living Here

Why the “Forgotten Borough” Nickname Stuck

If you’ve lived on Staten Island long enough, you’ve probably heard it — “the Forgotten Borough.”
The nickname goes back decades, born from a mix of geography and good-natured teasing. Staten Island sits a ferry ride away from the city bustle, without a subway line connecting it to Manhattan. Over the years, it’s been the quieter cousin to Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Manhattan.

But here’s the thing: forgotten? Hardly.

Staten Island: NYC’s Best-Kept Secret

Those who know Staten Island know it’s full of life — from waterfront parks and family-friendly neighborhoods to some of the best pizza (yes, we’ll die on that hill 🍕). Homes here often come with something Manhattanites dream about — space, yards, and driveways.

And for savvy buyers and sellers, that “forgotten” label just means hidden opportunity. At Your Home Sold Guaranteed Realty Advisors LLC, we help residents showcase Staten Island’s value to the world — one guaranteed sale at a time.
