Open Houses: Warm, west-facing apartments to make the most of spectacular sunsets

By CityRealty Staff | From Great Listings Friday, March 15, 2024

Sunset views from The Langham Fifth Avenue, #31F (Compass)

At any hour of the day or any time of year, west-facing apartments benefit from abundant light and natural warmth. Manhattan apartments facing west are likelier to enjoy Hudson River views, and their counterparts in Brooklyn and Long Island City are well positioned to look out on views of the East River as well as the Manhattan skyline. And at any address, they offer spectacular sunset views. At a time of year when the sun has just started to set after 7:00 p.m., we look at west-facing listings with weekend open houses.
