  • Between the Manhattan towers and revitalizing Queens lies one of New York City's cleanest, safest and most beautiful places to live and work.
    Cool fact: Garbage on the island is sucked away by the world's largest Automated Vacuum Collection system - a network of 2-feet wide diameter tubes which suck 10 tons of trash from residents' homes to a central location on island, where it's loaded into shipping containers and boated away.
    But how did this pristine place get here? 1,000 years ago, the Native American Lenape people called these 150 acres Minnehanonck. In the mid-1600s, Netherland colonizers called it Hog Island and colonial England named it Blackwell Island in the 1700s. During the 1900s, New Yorkers knew it as Welfare Island, as the state sponsored numerous longterm hospitals there. It received its current title in 1973, named after President FDR.
    Now, Roosevelt Island is home to more than 12,000 people. There are four major recreational facilities on the island: Capobianco Field (baseball), Firefighter's Field (soccer), Octagon Field (multi), and Pony Field (multi).
    The video opens Blackwell Island Lighthouse Park and highlights the major hospitals and facilities on the way toward the Roosevelt Island Bridge and Tramway Cars. In the middle, you see Strecker Lab and Smallpox Hospital - a pair of buildings which helped shape the course of history. The video closes with the Four Freedoms Park and the amazing view south of the island from above the park.

    The idea of living on that island in the middle of NYC sounds so cozy for some reason

      It definitely does, Angelo! Next time you're in NYC, I definitely suggest riding the skylift over to RI from Manhattan and checking it out. Many cool things to see and do on that island. Thanks for subscribing to our channel and sharing it with your friends!

      Thanks for checking out our video, Joazim! Rent on Roosevelt Island is slightly higher than Manhattan, which is the most expensive of all 5 boroughs. One-bedroom apartments there start at $2,500. Thanks so much for subscribing to our channel and sharing with your friends!

      used to a lot less expensive in the early 2000s, now it's a pretty high-income neighborhood with a few that are on Section 8 Housing. The demographics are some of the most varied in all of NYC. A good mix of Black/Asian/White/Hispanics

    Seems creepy to live there. It's the home of the city's most infamous and abusive insane asylum and smallpox hospital. Women were raped, beaten, murdered and starved to death there, under the pretext of mental treatment.
