Richmond County steep-slope & wetlands.
Staten Island's serpentine ridge at Todt Hill is the highest natural point on the eastern seaboard south of Maine, and its Bluebelt program preserves an unusually dense network of freshwater wetlands. Both slope and wetlands genuinely constrain parcels here — rare for New York City.
