We lay our scene some distance from fair Verona, but this new building is close to other love stories playing out in the Theater District and at the New York Public Library. This corner condo offers incomparable views of Bryant Park from both the floor-to-ceiling windows and the Juliet balconies off the living room. See floor plan and full details here.

Juliet would definitely approve of this south-facing balcony with a cool geometric design. It's easy to imagine her wearing a similar design to match as she scanned the local rooftops with her lover on her mind. And if Romeo doesn't warm her up, a built-in electric fireplace in the living room will do the job nicely. See floor plan and full details here.
129 Lafayette Street via Douglas Elliman
Super-cool downtown loft is located on the junction of Soho, Chinatown, and, appropriately enough, Little Italy. The soaring ceiling heights and floor-to-ceiling windows grab attention as well as any dramatic monologue, and a glass door leads to a balcony overlooking a bustling cityscape where Romeo and his friends would not be out of place. See floor plan and full details here.
La Maison via Warburg Realty
If all the world is a stage, that is especially true at this duplex penthouse at La Maison. The brand-new, floor-through residence comes with a Juliet balcony off a bedroom, a terrace off the den, and a private roof deck, ideal for playing out all types of scenes. See floor plan and full details here.
