Sunnyside Homes for Sale

Sunnyside is home to two large city parks—Silver Lake Park and Clove Lakes Park—form the eastern and western boundaries, respectively. Sunnyside is named for a boarding house that was established there in 1889. The neighborhood was previously known as Clovenia, owing to its location in what was then referred to as the Clove Valley. Sunnyside was once the home of a campus of the College of Staten Island; located at the foot of Emerson Hill. In 1993 this campus was moved to the grounds of the former Willowbrook State School, and an advanced-placement high school, the Michael Petrides Center, took its place. Sunnyside is served by the S53, S61, S62, S66, S91, S92, and S93 local buses and the X14 and X30 express buses.
