Expert Opinion:
the river views make this small-ish terrace a pleasant place for relaxing. the narrow part is excellent for planters to direct the views where you want them, while the larger part easily accommodates a dining table.

West Village
175 West 10 #2
$5,200,000
Expert Opinion:
a living level terrace that opens through those glass doors to a proper village tableau: neighboring brick townhouses, mature ivy climbing the wall next door, garden views below. six feet wide keeps it intimate, room for a bistro table and morning coffee with the orchids. the neighbors can see you; you can see them. that is the deal.

Expert Opinion:
this terrace has the access, size and views that make it extremely desirable,,, the one drawback is that at this elevation, wind can really affect the usability.

$3,350,000
Expert Opinion:
fifteen feet of width on a direct living terrace is the threshold where you stop arranging furniture defensively and start hosting. the artificial turf is a choice, but the western exposure delivers afternoon light and city views that don't require explanation. privacy reads high, neighbors mostly minding their own rooftops. a proper solo coffee spot that scales up for four without anyone standing.

Expert Opinion:
fantastic views, but the architecture of these terraces do not lend themselves to be "intimate" but some well planned landscaping can soften the places significantly

Expert Opinion:
amazing views of central park, too bad, that view is only available from the northern tip of the terrace, the rest will have to do with oblique views.

Expert Opinion:
small but potent terrace, just large enough to have a nice collection of plants and a couch or a dining table, if you want both a bistro table will have to do.

$4,995,000
Expert Opinion:
in this layout the balcony will get more use as it is easily big enough for a comfortable chairs and even a small lounging area. but for larger scale entertaining the direct roof will be excellent,

Lincoln Square
50 West 66 #40S
$23,000,000
Expert Opinion:
this direct living loggia is a functional triumph at this elevation. with glass walls connecting the kitchen and living room, the space feels like a seamless interior extension rather than an afterthought. at 11' x 18', it’s a practical room for daily life, though too intimate for heavy-duty entertaining.
