As many people do not realize, the monthly rent prices today are higher than in the past. Tenants are paying anywhere from $1,100 to $2,500 dollars a month in rent alone on Staten Island, all depending on how many bedrooms the apartment is. Now add in your utilities and you are paying far more than a monthly mortgage would be when owning a home, condo, or co-op.

Yes, as there are the advantages of not having to pay property taxes and having low maintenance when you are renting, there are also many disadvantages.

Tottenville's Conference House Park Pavilion has a $3.7 million dollar renovations in the works, which has had a late delay in starting. The project should be moving forward in construction after the Parks Department finally issued invitations to construction bids.

Located at the end of Hylan Boulevard, the project is to rebuild an existing pavilion at the waterfront. The pavilion has been closed several times and was due to begin construction for a couple of years now.
