10 Amazing Views from Rental Apartments in New York City

Share this article:

The thought of waking up every morning and admiring a magnificent urban view would have crossed a lot of minds for sure! Whether overlooking Central Park, the Atlantic Ocean, Hudson River, or Lower Manhattan, New York City’s sky-high condos feature vistas that appeal to exclusive tastes.

But is this lifestyle reserved only for the rich and famous? Do million-dollar views always cost millions? Luckily for the rest of us, you don’t have to be a billionaire, nor own a penthouse on the 68th floor, to enjoy fabulous skyline landscapes!

Finding an apartment for rent in New York City with a view can be tough – even though the city holds thousands of high-rises, including plenty of rental towers – but it is attainable. And if you search thoroughly, you could enjoy top-class unobstructed vistas, even from a lower floor. 34 Berry in Brooklyn is only 7 stories high, but boasts incredible views from the rooftop terrace.

If lavish urban panoramas make your heart race, you’ll enjoy the 10 astounding views taken from rental buildings that we’ve put together for your eye-delight:
