Frequently asked questions
What trains stop at Great Kills?
Great Kills in Staten Island is served by the SIR train on the MTA's daytime service pattern. The MTA lists Great Kills as accessible. Check the MTA for late-night and weekend changes.
What is the area around Great Kills actually like?

How far should I live from Great Kills to still call it "near the subway"?
Most New Yorkers consider anything under a 10-minute walk to be "near" a station. Under 5 minutes is ideal. But the real test is the door-to-platform time — a building 3 minutes from the entrance can be several more from the platform if the station has long corridors or deep stairs. Visit at rush hour to time the actual commute.
Is it loud living near Great Kills?
The MTA lists Great Kills's structure as open cut, so trains run outside rather than in a tunnel and are audible to nearby apartments, especially those facing the tracks. Visit at rush hour and late evening before signing a lease nearby.
What kinds of apartments are available near Great Kills?
The apartment stock near Great Kills depends on which neighborhood you are in — Great Kills has its own building character. Browse by type (pet-friendly, rent-stabilized, doorman, studio, etc.) using the links below, or check a specific address for the full picture.
Should I choose my apartment based on the subway station or the neighborhood?
Both matter, but most longtime New Yorkers will tell you the station matters more for your daily happiness. A great neighborhood with a 15-minute walk to the subway gets old fast — especially in January or during a summer heat wave. Pick the station that serves your commute, then explore the neighborhoods within walking distance of that station.
