Cool off in these New York apartments with refreshing river views

Views of the Hudson River form 374 West 11th Street, #5FL (Compass)

Tuesday, Jul 11, 2023 By CityRealty Staff, CityRealty contributor

Less than one full month after the official first day of summer, New Yorkers are in for some hot days: According to the National Weather Service, temperatures in the city are expected to hit highs in the low 90s over the next few days. While not expected to approach record heat levels, it could nevertheless get uncomfortable to be outside too long.

Gothamist suggests using this time to visit a city beach or a local pool. Indeed, sometimes just a glimpse of a body of water can feel rejuvenating. We look at apartments with river views throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Long Island City.
