Aspen Knolls
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aspen Knolls is one of the largest housing developments in Staten Island, New York. It contains 944 single family housing units and is located located in the neighborhood of Arden Heights on the island's south shore, near the intersection of Arthur Kill and Woodrow Roads.
Plans for this development began in the early 1990s and were originally meant for housing of Navy families. However, due to Base Realignment and Closure, the housing contract was terminated in November 1994 after the closure of the Staten Island Homeport in Stapleton. With the development already planned, its builders decided to go through with construction and sell the homes to regular citizens. Construction began in 1995 and was finished in early 2006. During this time period, people moved into the community as each house was finished being built.
The community today has over 3,000 residents. The community has established strict parking policies in its bylaws, which results in many cars being towed out of the complex.
