The Island of Solitude

You’ve probably heard the saying, “No man is an island,” but in this case, living on an isolated island is entirely possible. This tiny island, known as “Hub Island” or “Just Room Enough Island,” is the perfect example. Does it have electricity? Being in New York, it probably does. The island is only about 310 square meters in size.

The Sizeland family purchased this island in the 1950s, and today it features a house, a tree, shrubs, and a small beach. The family was looking for a vacation getaway, but in true New York fashion, they chose this spot not because of limited land, but because the space was expensive! The family and newspapers often joked that “one wrong step and you’re swimming!”
