Rooms near Cornell Tech

Cornell Tech’s campus is on Roosevelt Island, reached by the F train or the Roosevelt Island Tram, so most students end up in nearby Long Island City instead — a fast-growing waterfront neighborhood in Queens with some of the shortest subway rides into Manhattan. The 7, E, M, N, and W trains all run through the area, making it easy to get to campus or into the city for internships and classes elsewhere. Expect newer residential buildings, waterfront parks with skyline views of Manhattan, and a noticeably lower cost of living than most of Manhattan itself. Rooms here tend to be in modern buildings rather than classic walk-ups — check current listings on this page for what’s available near campus right now.
