There’s world of difference between an apartment with laundry in the basement and one with a washer and dryer in-unit. Likewise, having access to common outdoor space can’t hold a candle to enjoying your very own patio or balcony.
When you stumble upon an apartment that has private outdoor space and private laundry, you’ve found a real treasure — a city perch with the amenities of a suburban spread. When you find one for under $800K in NYC, you’ve found a holy grail. And they’re out there. Here are 10 apartments in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens with private outdoor space and washers and dryers in-unit.
