Neighborhood

With an unusual atmosphere of tranquility amidst America’s biggest city, Roosevelt Island provides a unique living experience on the edge of Manhattan. The location in the East River offers residents a level of relative seclusion that is rare in New York City, while still being conveniently close to Midtown Manhattan, the Upper East Side, and western Queens.

Beautiful Gothic revival architecture remains from the island’s history as center for hospitals and other institution (Coler Goldwater Specialty Hospital still operates on the north end of the island). Numerous public parks give residents ample opportunities to get outdoors and enjoy the scenic views of the Manhattan skyline.

The Queensboro Bridge, the nearby subway station, and the aerial Roosevelt Island Tramway provide residents with numerous options for transportation around the city and beyond—the latter providing one of the most unique public transportation experiences in New York.
