This "historic-meets-luxury" residential complex on Roosevelt Island offers "breathtaking waterfront views" and "resort-style living" with "extensive amenities" including a "well-equipped gym," pool, and social spaces. Residents praise the "peaceful atmosphere" and "community vibe," enhanced by regular social events and "friendly staff." While the subway requires a "brief journey," complimentary shuttle service provides "seamless connections" to Manhattan via tram and ferry. "Spacious apartments" with "modern finishes" and "abundant natural light" complement the "meticulously maintained" grounds, though some note the "premium pricing." A "unique urban oasis" that delivers "Manhattan luxury with island tranquility."
