The rental community known as Manhattan Park on Roosevelt Island, two towers constructed in 1989 with more than 800 apartments, has had extensive renovations both inside and out - and the modern upgrades show off city style without sacrificing island life. Located at 30 River Road, the Manhattan Park complex is known for its expansive grounds, fun amenities including a 60-foot outdoor swimming pool, and generously proportioned homes with expansive skyline and river views.
Each of the buildings has new lobbies, lounges, game rooms and fitness areas, and in the renovated homes, you’ll find contemporary new interiors, finishes and appliances. The roomy floor plans create flexible layouts and many have private balconies. Current listings on the Manhattan Park website show one bedrooms from $2,500/month, two bedrooms from $5,000/month and three bedrooms from $5,200/month. Residences offer oak floors, windows with custom treatments, sleek kitchens with dishwashers and plenty of closet space throughout.
Roosevelt Island is a narrow stretch of land in the East River between Manhattan island to the west and Queens to the east. Over time, it has been home to several institutions though it has since developed into a planned community and many of the historic buildings are now noteworthy adaptive reuse projects including the Octagon, originally constructed in 1841 and now a rental residence. The nearly two mile-long island sits underneath the Queensboro Bridge and offers spectacular views of Midtown East, the Upper East Side, Astoria and Long Island City.
The island itself is a destination, and the Manhattan Park grounds make it even more desirable with landscaped paths, terraces and patios where you can enjoy the surrounding community and take in the views. The most notable amenity is the outdoor swimming pool where for the last several years, a top artist has been commissioned to paint the pool and sundeck, creating a vibrant and thoughtful summer escape. Throughout the year, the community has a variety of outdoor resident events including yoga classes and movie screenings. Roosevelt Island is an accessible destination, too; one stop on the F train will bring you to Midtown East, and the world-famous tram will get you there in just four minutes.
Inside, common areas throughout the buildings have been upgraded including the staffed lobbies that offer concierge and valet services with everything from refrigerated grocery delivery to dry cleaning and shoe repair. There are lounge areas for an extension of the homes, game rooms with pool tables, fully-equipped 24-hour fitness areas, children’s play areas, bike storage and laundry rooms. The rooftop sun deck is great for entertaining; it has grilling stations and dining areas all set to the magnificent New York City skyline.
