It’s no secret that New Yorkers long for private outdoor space. Especially during the pandemic. But this luxury isn’t just reserved for garden apartments and townhouses. Renters can have their own piece of NYC outdoor space in the form of a balcony. Spend the summer outside in the fresh air, without leaving the comfort of home! Here are 5 great NYC apartments with balconies available to rent right now.

Price $2,500
Space 1 bed, 1 bath
Neighborhood Long Island City
Borough Queens

Our first NYC apartment with a balcony is this lovely Long Island City 1-bedroom. It’s set in a full-service building with a doorman, a gym, and more. The unit is airy and bright, with oversized windows and an open floor plan. A peninsula in the kitchen serves as a great breakfast bar and food prep station. The balcony off the living room is pretty spacious. And there’s also a shared rooftop deck with an outdoor kitchen! Listed by Thomas Kalajian of Corcoran.

Neighborhood East Harlem
Borough Manhattan

Not many NYC apartments with balconies have this unique feature: double access. This private outdoor space is accessible via both the bedroom and the living room! It’s also southern facing for maximum sunlight (your houseplants will love it). Inside the unit you’ll find two more features New Yorkers covet. A washer/dryer is set right next to an alcove that would make a perfect home office. The bathroom and kitchen (with dishwasher!) are meticulously updated as well.
