It would seem that New York City has everything, but private outdoor space is at a premium. On a beautiful summer day, escaping to Central Park, the High Line, or Brooklyn Bridge Park seems to have occurred to thousands of locals and tourists at the same time. Many rentals offer outdoor relaxation areas that can attract what feels like the entire building. Fortunately, the solution is not to escape to a house in the suburbs with a huge yard and limited city access. The following city listings offer the opportunity to escape the crowds and enjoy the beautiful weather in private gardens.
