The Evolution of Roosevelt Island

Roosevelt Island is an exciting and accessible destination for New York City apartment hunters, with convenient transportation options including subway, tram, ferry, and car. Just a three-minute subway ride from Manhattan, the island offers a unique and appealing living experience.

Roosevelt Island has evolved significantly over the years, undergoing substantial redevelopment and new construction. Today, it boasts a variety of modern and attractive residential options that are perfect for today’s renters and buyers. Several major projects have transformed Roosevelt Island into a vibrant community. Highlights include the innovative Cornell Tech research campus, the chic Graduate New York hotel, and the beautifully designed Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park.

My favorite new development on the island, Westview, offers waterfront homes with luxurious finishes in various floorplans from studios to three bedrooms. Residences feature private outdoor spaces and range from 720 to 1,850 square feet, priced from $570,000 to over $2 million.

Residence 830 is a stunning three-bedroom, two-bedroom apartment, offering a large open kitchen fully equipped with Quartzite countertops, marble backsplash, Viking appliances, and a breakfast bar. This turnkey home also features an in-unit washer dryer, marble and porcelain bathrooms, hardwood oak flooring, generous built-in closets, and oversized insulated sliding windows, all for your move-in ready convenience. Asking $1,400,000

Roosevelt Island is a hidden gem that offers a unique blend of convenience, history, and modern living. It’s a place worth considering for anyone looking to find a new home in New York City. Learn more about Westview here!
