With brighter days ahead, see NYC listings with multiple exposures and abundant natural light

By CityRealty Staff | From Great Listings Friday, January 20, 2023

City sunsets are beautiful, and will be coming later starting January 21

For some, the worst part of a New York City winter is how early it gets dark at night. However, that is about to change: Starting on Saturday, January 21, the sun will set at 5:00 p.m. in New York and get dark a little later in the days that follow. As a matter of fact, New York Metro Weather announced that after Saturday, the sun won't set before 5:00 p.m. until November 5, 2023.

This news can't help but lift New Yorkers' spirits wherever they reside. But in these apartments, multiple exposures and oversized windows fill the homes with abundant natural light at any time of year.
