Private outdoor space has become a must-have for many New Yorkers post-pandemic, especially in high-density districts where congestion abounds and greenery is visually scarce. Following months of sheltering in place, local brokerages have reported an uptick in demand for homes with private outdoor space. While the city is teeming with beautiful parks and plush (albeit pricy) roof decks, nothing beats having your own respite in the sky, especially now with the city's notorious congestion back with a vengeance.
As we are now in the midst of steamy summer months, now may be your last chance to claim and enjoy a perch in the sky before this year's autumn chills swoop in. Below are new listings for sale with gracious terraces that would make for ideal sanctuaries in the sky.
