'''Stapleton Heights''' (or '''Stapleton Hill''') is a neighborhood in northeastern [[Staten Island]], [[New York City]]. It stands on the second of a series of hills that form a "backbone" running diagonally across the island from northeast to southwest, between [[Ward Hill, Staten Island|Ward Hill]] (the first of the hills as they rise from [[Tompkinsville, Staten Island|Tompkinsville]]) and [[Grymes Hill, Staten Island|Grymes Hill]]; to the east is [[Stapleton, Staten Island|Stapleton]], which is along the waterfront.  It is an upper-middle-class enclave noted for its large older one-family homes, and for its view of [[Upper New York Bay]] and the [[Verrazzano Narrows Bridge]].  Many of the grander homes of the neighborhood were constructed in the late 19th century by the families who controlled the industries along the waterfront, including the [[brewery|breweries]] that operated there until the last one closed in 1963.  One such home, on Louis Street, is allegedly "haunted," according to local residents.

Stapleton Heights is served by the {{NYC bus link|S52|S78|prose=y}} local buses.<ref>{{cite NYC bus map|S}}</ref>
