Roosevelt Island is connected to Manhattan via the famous tram at 59th Street and a single subway station on the F line, which is just a short walk from Riverwalk Park. From there it’s only one stop to Lexington Avenue at 63rd Street, and three stops to Rockefeller Center.
Qualified applicants for this Roosevelt Island housing lottery should apply online at NYC Housing Connect. The deadline to apply is July 6, 2020.
