The days are getting shorter, but these listings make the most of the remaining natural light. (One Sixteen, #PHD - Douglas Elliman)

From Great Listings At the end of Daylight Saving Time, see listings with multiple exposures to let light in

By CityRealty Staff Monday, November 7, 2022

On October 25, 2022, residents of the Northern Hemisphere lamented the fact that the year's last sunset before 6:00 p.m. would take place on that day. More recently, following the end of Daylight Saving Time on Sunday, November 6, the sun will set at 5:45 p.m. in New York. In a rare act of bipartisanship, the United States Senate unanimously passed a measure to make Daylight Saving Time permanent in March 2022, but the House of Representatives has yet to vote on it, if indeed at all.

In the meantime, apartments with more than one exposure allow for abundant natural light from multiple angles at any time of year. We take a look at listings with double, triple, and quadruple exposures.
