Grymes Hill
For just under $1.3 million, you could get an entire four-bedroom house on Staten Island that sits close to two of the borough’s many spacious parks. The more than 2,000-square-foot house could use some updates—its owners have lived there since the mid-’90s—but it has new kitchen appliances, lots of space, and a backyard. Cloves Lake and Silver Lake parks are both nearby.
