About the neighborhood
An island apart, minutes away
An aerial tramway carries you over the East River to Roosevelt Island, a narrow strip between Manhattan and Queens with a layered past: Minnehanonck to the Lenape, later Blackwell's Island and then Welfare Island, long home to hospitals and asylums before a 1970s plan remade it as a residential community named for FDR. Modernist towers in Northtown and Southtown share the island with the Octagon, the Renwick Ruin of a former smallpox hospital, the historic Blackwell House, and a lighthouse at the northern tip.
Residents describe a small town in the big city, with the island's own newspaper, library, and farmers market. A promenade wraps the perimeter, Lighthouse, Southpoint, and Octagon parks add lawns and playgrounds, and Louis Kahn's Four Freedoms Park honors FDR at the southern point. Cherry blossom season is a community event, and Cornell Tech adds academic energy to a quietly cosmopolitan place.
