Skyline Is the Limit: 5 NYC Homes with Spectacular Views

Some New York views never get old, no matter how long you’ve lived here. From Central Park and the East River to the Empire State Building and downtown skyline, these five homes turn some of the city’s most recognizable sights into part of the everyday scenery. Floor-to-ceiling windows, private terraces and high-floor vantage points make the most of every angle.

217 West 57th Street #97E

Set 1,000 feet above New York City, this four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home in Central Park Tower offers a perspective few New Yorkers ever get to see. Walls of glass frame Central Park, the Hudson and East Rivers, the Empire State Building and even the Statue of Liberty.

151 East 58th Street #PH54E

On the 54th floor of One Beacon Court, this Jacques Grange-designed penthouse is wrapped in 40 floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking sweeping vistas of the city and Central Park. The views take center stage throughout, including in the serene primary suite, where Central Park is visible from every window.

860 5th Avenue #PHAB

Uninterrupted park and skyline views from all four exposures set the stage for this approximately 5,000-square-foot penthouse. With interiors ready to be shaped entirely by its next owner, it offers a rare chance to create a residence that makes the most of the light, views and wraparound terrace.

56 Leonard Street #24AE

Wide-open skyline views take center stage in this newly renovated three-bedroom corner residence at 56 Leonard, framed by floor-to-ceiling windows throughout. Two private balconies, 11-foot ceilings, and north and east exposures keep the city in sight day and night.

721 5th Avenue #59A

Unobstructed southern views reach all the way to the Statue of Liberty from this high-floor, two-bedroom corner residence, while western views are equally striking day and night. Floor-to-ceiling windows span the corner living and dining room as well as the sunny primary bedroom.
