Roosevelt Island Apartments for Rent
About Roosevelt Island Neighborhood

This narrow island in the East River hosts a freeing respite both noticeably slower-paced and intimately connected to the city’s bustle. The cars are few, the restaurants neighborly, and the evenings quiet. The secret of the island has somewhat gotten out, however: over the long term prices have spiked, while remaining lower than the majority of their main-island counterparts. The island is home to a large international population, several buildings owned by New York hospitals, and a plethora of outdoor spaces, like the bustling community garden, baseball diamonds and tree-lined promenades. Emma Goldman and Boss Tweed number among former residents. Perhaps the most thrilling aspect of small island life is the commute: residents can take an aerial tram or a ferry to Manhattan with an average travel time of less than ten minutes.
