The answer is no, because the number of non-isolated points differs. In , every is an isolated point: a sufficiently small open interval around it contains no other member of . The only non-isolated point is , since every neighbourhood of contains some .
In the product topology, is an isolated point exactly when both coordinates are isolated points of . One direction follows because the product of two open singletons is open. For the other, any basic open rectangle containing contains another point if either coordinate has no open singleton. Hence the set of non-isolated points of iswhich is infinite. A homeomorphism takes open singletons to open singletons, so it induces a bijection between the sets of non-isolated points. A space with just one such point cannot be homeomorphic to a space with infinitely many.
