View from the terrace at the the Laureate, PH1A via Douglas Elliman
According to a survey by the National Association of Landscape Professionals, a whopping 79% of home buyers ranked outdoor space as their top priority. While most New York apartments don't come with a large lawn, city buyers may nevertheless agree with that - private terraces and balconies have always been highly coveted. But in these uncertain times, these outdoor oases have taken on new significance as venues for the #ClapBecauseWeCare campaign, the site of a Broadway star's serenades, or just a place to enjoy fresh air without fear. We take a tour of top Manhattan neighborhoods and spectacular apartments in them.
