What Locals Say about Roosevelt Island

Review Highlights

Roosevelt Island: serene, well-connected island life with skyline views, parks and swift city access. People love the safe, quiet, family vibe, river views, parks, and quick tram, subway, ferry access. They dislike scarce restaurants and nightlife, spotty weekend F service, pricey rents, and one costly grocer.

    "35 min door to door, I have 4 ways to move out of my neighborhood. But it can be challenging when there are jobs on the subway and the tram can get pretty busy during the weekend"

    "Amazing commute via public transportation you can use the tramway to Manhattan, the F train uptown and downtown with all other connections and the Q102 to Astoria Queens, ride a city bike or drive. 👏 🙀 😮 "

    "Quick and easy. Lots of options:subway, tram, ferry, car, bicycle. I’ve never seen anyone try to swim (no doubt illegal) but even that might be technically feasible if you are feeling particularly cheeky. "

    Roosevelt Island, New York
    "Pros: Safe and quiet oasis in the middle of Manhattan. Many many families with kids. Diverse population. Lots of international residents. Completely accessible for wheel chair users & strollers. Amazing river views everywhere. Well maintained paths around the whole island. Parks and playgrounds abound. No rats!! None! No garbage on the streets. Free “red bus” transportation. Cons: Spotty weekend F train. Virtually nowhere to eat out & almost no food deliveries. 1 grossly overpriced, poorly stocked grocery store. "

    "My favorite area in nyc. If if we’re not for the expensive condos I would raise my family here. Overall perfect neighborhood for students/young professionals working in Manhattan/families who can afford the rent or mortgage for a big family. "

    "It is like living in a park yet 3 minutes to Manhattan and/or LIC. Very good neighborhood if you'd like to relax after hectic work. Very well connected with F train with main spots in Manhattan. I'd say probably the best neighborhood in the city when you consider all parameters."
