Billy joel’s long island community has become a ghost town after many fled to florida.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Real estate agent Cottie Maxwell has long repped property deals in a certain Long Island village — one that’s famously linked to Billy Joel.

Once a popular spot that attracted not only the Piano Man, but also other big-name residents, Maxwell says this area has also slowly cleared out over the years.

Welcome to Centre Island, an isolated community with no gas station, no grocery store and no post office.

All that exists are houses with scenic views of the Oyster Bay Harbor and Cold Spring Harbor.

And it’s intentionally kept that way.

“They know who they know and they know who they don’t know,” Maxwell, of Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty, told The Post. “And that gives people like Billy Joel, Rupert Murdoch who once lived there, and even Brad [Pitt] and Angelina [Jolie], who rented there for a summer at the time, a sense of security.”

However, since the COVID-19 pandemic, Centre Island — which holds about 200 homes, according to Census data — has seen a massive selling spree.

Centre Island

More than 50 homes have traded hands in the serene Centre Island town since January 2020 — and an additional 9 homes are currently on the market, according to the brokerage site, Redfin.

One of them, a new-construction build spanning 7,500 square feet, has been on the market since July 2020, with no takers.

It asks $6.25 million.

Centre Island

(Centre Island is a village within the North Shore town of Oyster Bay, which has seen its own overall level of activity. According to Realtor.com tallies, 525 homes there have listed since January 2020, with 338 selling in that period of time.)

The reason for the flurry of recent Centre Island transactions?

According to Maxwell, most residents have since fled to Florida — and that includes Joel who purchased some three homes in Florida over the years.

Centre Island

Joel, 74, renovated, expanded, and completed his Centre Island estate — only to list the decades-long compound for $49 million in May. Bonnie Williamson, who’s also with Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty, has the listing.

The under-renovation property is known as Middlesea — and not only boasts some 2,000 square feet of water frontage, but also a main house running more than 20,000 square feet.

“I think that’s what his plan was. And then his plan changed,” Maxwell, who’s not involved with his current $49 million listing, said of Joel attempting to expand his Centre Island home for a horse farm. “Maybe he’s older. He’s retiring. And he’s spending more time in Florida.”

centre island yacht club

In 2021, Maxwell sold Joel a property, which had not traded hands since the 1970s, next to the $22.5 million home he purchased in 2002.

When Maxwell was growing up, that property, known as the Palmer Estate, consisted of five parcels that were later split up and sold off separately.

“Billy Joel at the time was looking at land next door, and … he wanted to have horses there,” Maxwell said of Joel’s 2021 purchase. “So he was attaching the three properties back to the way they originally were.”

Centre Island

But Joel listing there is still part of a larger village-wide trend.

“People are selling the bigger estates and they’re getting smaller houses,” said Maxwell. “And they’re taking the money and putting it into a property in Florida … so many people left this area to go down to Florida. So many. It’s amazing. Some people have come back. But I also saw a lot of people buying around here during COVID from California, because the prices in California are so high.”

(Meanwhile, in Florida, Joel has an oceanfront estate in Manalapan listed for $64.9 million.)

Centre Island

One former resident of Centre Island who moved to Florida in 2021 said that he was looking for better weather year-round and being able to get more bank for the buck.

“We don’t have as many winters and at the same time we can retire with more money left in our pockets,” the former resident, who asked not to be named for reasons of privacy, told The Post. “We loved our little community, but it was time.”

As Centre Island residents leave, there’s now an opportunity for prospective buyers to become newly minted homeowners there.

billy joel

Maxwell says she considers Centre Island a viable option for those who want a quieter lifestyle and want a “little bit more peace” — explaining that this is an Hamptons alternative for those who don’t want to drive out that far and want to avoid the crowds.

Residents drive over the bridge to the neighboring town of Bayville for any errands.

To get into the village with a population of about 400, a police booth awaits you.

billy joel

Despite the comforts and peace, there’s still a change in generations in the area — but that doesn’t mean there are any hard feelings locally, especially regarding Joel.

“But we will miss him when he leaves,” Maxwell said. “He’s been driving around town. These people are just part of our community. He’s been here for a long time and we were happy that he was here.”

Oshkosh has a Monkey Island, but did zoo primates ever roam free there?

centre island yacht club

Jim Pomraning and Roger Simon grew up together in Oshkosh, back when kids could spend all day playing in the park so long as they promised their mothers they'd "be home for lunch."

"There were lots of boys in my neighborhood back in the day," Simon said. "In those days ... you didn't have to worry about safety or anything like that, so I spent a lot of time with my compatriots over in the park doing all kinds of stuff, just roaming around."

Now in their mid-70s, Pomraning lives in Brookfield, while Simon still calls Oshkosh home. They talk on the phone almost every day. Both men fondly remember their childhood adventures, especially summers exploring Menominee Park , just about a block from Simon's childhood home on Oak Street.

However, these pleasant recollections of their preteen years differ in a major way when it comes to one topic the lifelong friends often discuss: Monkey Island, the man-made, sort-of-ring-shaped island in the southern half of Lake Winnebago's Miller's Bay, which served as a breakwater for the local yacht club and later a pre-treatment basin for the city's water treatment facility.

Simon swears that for a few summers between about 1958 and 1960 ― when the men were between 10 and 12 years old ― the Oshkosh Parks Department released about a half dozen monkeys from the Menominee Park Zoo onto the island to frolic among the trees until the fall, when they were returned to captivity.

Pomraning is certain this is an "implanted memory." In fact, he recalls his surprise when Simon first brought it up: "I said, 'Roger, you're as full of (it) as a Christmas turkey, that just never happened.'"

Simon, meanwhile, says he'll "go to (his) grave" certain he saw monkeys "flipping around in the trees" on the island, though he admits he has no photographic proof, "only recollection."

"I remember a lot of things; it's like my head's got movies," Simon said. "Jim doesn't have that ability."

Simon recalls that the island had "tall trees — I don't know what kind. Not beautiful oak trees or anything, but tall trees, probably 50 feet high, and a lot of bushes. And (the monkeys) were just doing their thing, jumping around the trees and picking berries ... just playing. It wasn't like they were right there on the shoreline and you could watch them like it was a cage; they were just living on the island."

Hoping to settle this good-natured debate once and for all, Pomraning contacted the Journal Sentinel's "What the Wisconsin?" team. "What the Wisconsin?"  is our series where reporters take on questions about our state, our communities and the people in them. 

After talking to Oshkosh experts ranging from local librarians to the city's parks and public works departments, as well as the Oshkosh Northwestern archives (which, as far as we could find, are only accessible with an Oshkosh Public Library card), here's what we uncovered about Monkey Island.

Where is Oshkosh's Monkey Island?

Monkey Island is in the southern half of Oshkosh's Miller's Bay. The bay is located in Lake Winnebago and stretches from Doemel Point to about Menominee Park's Pratt Trail.

Menominee Park is also home to the Menominee Park Zoo , which was founded in 1945.

Why was Oshkosh's Monkey Island created?

Monkey Island was constructed by the Oshkosh Yacht Club in 1913 as a breakwater for boats docked in Miller's Bay, according to Oshkosh Daily Northwestern records. A breakwater is a barrier built out into a body of water to protect a coast or harbor from the force of waves.

Trees were planted on the island sometime before 1915, according to the Oshkosh Public Museum. A postcard from the museum's collection dates back to the 1910s and depicts a tree-covered Monkey Island, along with Menominee Park.

The Monkey Island of Pomraning and Simon's youth was a fraction of the size of today's island. The island is currently about 1,800 feet long and 800 feet wide. Before the 1960s, only a small portion of what's now the westernmost part of the island existed.

In August 1955, the Northwestern reported that, at a meeting of the Oshkosh Common Council's finance and public works committee, the water board proposed extending the breakwater to create a pre-treatment basin for the city's water department. Boating enthusiasts objected to the construction of the basin, arguing it would interfere with Miller's Bay's ability to be used as a boat harbor. However, construction proceeded. 

In June 1958, the Northwestern announced that the island, which it referred to as "Government Island," had been briefly turned into a peninsula after workmen temporarily filled in the channel separating it from the mainland in order to begin work on the pre-treatment basin. 

The Oshkosh Water Filtration Plant, located just south of Menominee Park, used the basin in its treatment process from the early 1960s until the early 2000s, when a new Water Filtration Plant intake pipe was installed, rendering the basin no longer necessary, said current Oshkosh director of public works James Rabe. 

Monkeys definitely lived near Monkey Island in Oshkosh

In the mid-20th century, Menominee Park was home to a monkey exhibit that was part of the Menominee Park Zoo. Pomraning and Simon remember it, and Northwestern records confirm it. A March 1953 article called the monkeys "the most popular animals in the city's small zoo."

Simon recalls a smaller, more casual zoo than exists today; residents included a bear, peacocks and, of course, monkeys. "It was basically just a fence with fenced-off little areas for these animals," he said. "But, it also had a cage, maybe 15-by-15-feet, 10-feet high, for monkeys."

Residents of the cage included rhesus monkeys and, later, sooty mangabey monkeys after the rhesus monkeys were deemed unreliable by the city in 1963, according to Northwestern archives.

"They'd be hopping around and doing their thing ...," Simon recalled. "It was always so fun to watch because they were so cute and so small."

Monkeys once swung among the trees in Menominee Park ... for a few hours

Early on the morning of Tuesday, Aug. 19, 1952, Oshkosh resident Philip Lyman and his two children were taking a walk when they noticed monkeys swinging through the trees near the Menominee Park cage.

Three of the park's four monkeys had escaped after vandals cut a hole overnight in the wire cage using pliers. The Aug. 19 evening edition of the Northwestern reported that the escapees were lured back into their cage in about two hours using lettuce and bananas.

"The vandals, unlike the monkeys, were not behind bars at presstime," the paper quipped at the end of the front-page story.

But, were there monkeys on Oshkosh's Monkey Island?

Despite consulting extensive Northwestern records and contacting the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and the city's public museum, public library, Convention & Visitors Bureau, parks department and public works department, we were unable to confirm whether the rumors of monkeys on Monkey Island are true.

Today, other animals certainly call the island home. It's a natural habitat and nesting grounds for various wildlife, including cormorants, ducks and Canadian geese, said Oshkosh assistant parks director Chad Dallman.

But, just because we couldn't confirm Simon's story doesn't mean it couldn't be true. Even Pomraning admitted, "It's difficult to prove something didn't happen."

In their quest to settle the Monkey Island debate, Pomraning and Simon joined a private Facebook group for people who grew up in Oshkosh. When Pomraning asked if any other group members could corroborate Simon's story, "a bunch of people" said it never happened, but others claimed they "went out there in a boat" and played with the free-roaming primates.

Simon said one woman in the group said her grandmother used to talk about the monkeys on the island. He also shared that his friend's ex-wife's father, who worked for the Oshkosh water department in the 1970s before becoming an Oshkosh police officer in the '80s, used to tell stories about the monkeys he claimed were told to him by more senior city employees who worked there in the late '50s.

"He remembers them talking about having to, in the spring, take the monkeys to the island and, in the fall, catching them and bringing them to safety," Simon said. "Now, again, I have nothing in writing (to prove this)."

Still, Simon contends that this story and those of the Facebook group members support his childhood memories.

"I would say my friend probably considers that it's true because of what his father-in-law said; I mean, the guy was competent, a cop. And I'm sure the lady that was talking about her grandmother ... she probably believed her but thought it was a little strange."

Why is it called 'Monkey Island'?

This is another question that does not appear to have a definitive answer. One Reddit user told r/GoogleMaps that the island was named by "the children of Oshkosh."

Growing up, Pomraning heard a similar story: "(T)he Oshkosh Yacht Club, they polled their members, and the kids of the members thought that would be a funny name."

Facebook user Luna Tammy Fields said in the Facebook group "People Past and Present of Oshkosh, Wisc." that the name comes from an "old town joke" because kids used to "swim across the lake" to climb trees and "monkey around."

"I was told it's called Monkey Island because all the seagulls that inhabit it; their calls make it sound like a colony of flying monkeys from 'The Wizard of Oz' movie," another Facebook group member, Jessica Lynn, wrote . "Could just be an old fable I grew up being told, but definitely agree it sounds like that!"

At least one other group member, Ethan McGinness, shared a similar explanation, saying "All the seagulls that stay there sound like a ton of monkeys."

Today, Monkey Island hosts Fourth of July fireworks

Nowadays, Monkey Island is primarily used as a launch site for Oshkosh's Fourth of July fireworks , said city parks director Ray Maurer.

"I think it's accessible to people," Maurer said when asked why the city chooses to shoot off fireworks from the island . "It's in our major city park, so there's plenty of space, and boaters on the Lake Winnebago system are able to view them."

Those viewing the fireworks do not watch on Monkey Island but from nearby Menominee Park, where, last year, they could enjoy food trucks; boat, aqua bike and paddleboard rentals; and other festivities.

Monkey Island also made the news in January 2017 , when police rescued a juvenile who was stranded on the island after walking to it over the frozen lake. The juvenile was uninjured and brought to shore, where they were evaluated and released.

There have been other 'Monkey Islands' at zoos throughout Wisconsin

While it remains a mystery whether primates ever called Oshkosh's Monkey Island home, we do know that several other "Monkey Islands" throughout Wisconsin have housed animal residents consistent with their namesakes.

Perhaps the most interesting was in La Crosse. According to the La Crosse Public Library's archives , this "Monkey Island" was constructed in 1929 as part of the Myrick Park Zoo, which closed in 2007. The original exhibit featured an island in a pond surrounded by a wall 2 to 3 feet above water. The attraction, which began with a dozen monkeys, attracted tens of thousands of people a year throughout the 1930s. However, the monkey herd struggled with inbreeding and violence ... against zoo staff and each other.

The most memorable story involving La Crosse's Monkey Island occurred in 1937. On Nov. 24, 15 monkeys escaped from the La Crosse Animal Hospital, where they were staying for the winter, and spent the night on the roof of a nearby business. They evaded capture until the morning of Nov. 26, attracting onlookers and blocking traffic as they made their way through the city.

Milwaukee has also had a "Monkey Island." Journal Sentinel archives include multiple stories about a "mobster" rhesus monkey named Joe who ruled the Monkey Island exhibit at the old Washington Park Zoo with a "furry fist" from 1948 until he was overthrown by younger monkeys in 1962.

Some modern-day reports, such as a 2019 Journal Sentinel article on the birth of a new snow monkey, still refer to the zoo's monkey exhibit as "Monkey Island."

Historical images can also be found of a "Monkey Island" enclosed exhibit at the Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison. According to newspaper records, in August 1960, 38 primate residents escaped from this exhibit, and after two days, 36 were still on the run, swinging through the nearby treetops.
