Who doesn't love the idea of living in a penthouse?

These apartments have the best views in the building, and some are lucky enough to have private outdoor space to better enjoy them. The term "penthouse" is often synonymous with "pricy," but the following penthouse listings all over Manhattan come in below $1 million.
