two balcony-like terraces with good views, but no entertainment value.

Expert Opinion:
a direct roof setup with the graffiti hearts on the adjacent wall adding unexpected character. the decking is weathered in that lived-in way, two sectionals facing each other like a proper conversation pit. yes, the brick tower next door is watching, but at this height, who cares. room for six, maybe eight if everyone likes each other.

nice sized terrace, and the inclusion of mature trees make it very interesting, however it does not have good views

Expert Opinion:
this well sized private roof is under appreciated and completely undeveloped, with some planning it could be a nice place with great views, although its overexposure will need to be dealt with. and access is a nightmare.

Expert Opinion:
long and narrow at seven feet wide, this living level terrace runs along the east river with the queensboro bridge anchoring the view. the proportions limit furniture options, but someone's already figured it out with a compact seating area tucked against the brick. water views, morning coffee, one friend at a time.

Expert Opinion:
west-facing with nearly eleven feet of width, which lands firmly in usable territory. the sectional actually fits without apology, and there is room to walk past it. city views in every direction, good light in the afternoon, neighbors apparently minding their own business. a direct living terrace that functions like one should.
