In New York City, outdoor spaces are coveted and as a result at a premium. In some new developments, outdoor space is priced at nearly the price of interior square footage. Typically in the cold months which used to be November through April here in Manhattan, outdoor spaces get neglected and not used. In Manhattan’s Park West Village on the Upper West side, many apartments have terraces which lay barren during the winter.
What should you do with them once the normally cold winter arrives? One obvious choice is storage and another suggestion given in Real Estate Weekly’s article is get heatlamps or if your space is ample enough then a gas fireplace may do the trick.
