Private Escapes: NYC apartments with private roof decks under $2M

By CityRealty Staff | From Great Listings Tuesday, March 11, 2025

Roof decks for these apartments only!

Spring can’t come fast enough for most New Yorkers — and honestly, who could blame them? Old Man Winter is probably plotting a few more chilly surprises, but the spring equinox is officially arriving on Thursday, March 20, at exactly 5:01 a.m. That’s the moment the sun hovers directly over the equator, giving us (almost) equal hours of day and night. Meteorologists, however, have already declared spring underway as of March 1 — so if you’ve already swapped your Canada Goose for a light jacket, you’re not alone.

According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, which bases its forecasts on solar activity and weather patterns, spring is expected to bring above-average temperatures and mild conditions in lower New York State. Meanwhile, meteorologists, who officially mark the start of spring on March 1, are predicting a warmer-than-usual season — and the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center has forecast average temperatures this spring for most of the U.S.

After a colder-than-normal winter, longer days and rising temperatures appear here to stay. That means rooftop season is nearly upon us — but with warmer weather comes the inevitable scramble for space on shared courtyards and common roof decks. Enter the coveted private roof deck: a slice of personal sky where you can sip your morning coffee, work al fresco, or host friends without fighting for a spot. Below, we’ve rounded up some apartments with private roof decks that may make you the envy of the building
