Private outdoor space has become a must-have for many New Yorkers. Following months of sheltering in place and social distancing, local brokerages have reported an uptick in demand for homes with direct access to the outdoors. As we are three months from spring and Manhattan rents the lowest they've been in years, now may be the best time to claim a perch in the sky with accessory outdoor space. Below are high-end apartments for rent with gracious terraces that would make for ideal sanctuaries in the sky.
