The great outdoors are calling, even if it is a rooftop garden set above the concrete jungle of New York City. As the temperature begins to rise, so too does demand for private, outdoor space where New Yorkers can breathe fresh air, take in some vitamin D and even exercise their green thumbs. In honor of the season, we rounded up some of the best homes on the market offering open sky, privacy and the luxury of outdoor space. Whether it’s a stunning city view from a balcony for your morning coffee or a lush backyard for your evening yoga, these homes offer the perfect places for your spring awakening.
