As one of the most expensive real estate markets around the globe, New York is home to many high-end luxury buildings. They offer top-of-the-line amenities and great views, and naturally, come with expensive price tags. However, New York’s most luxurious apartments are in a league of their own. A few characteristics of these apartments are:
Location: Certain New York locations (like Billionaire’s Row) tend to have a higher concentration of the most luxurious apartments. The view they offer, like the Central Park or waterfront, also adds to the luxury. The apartment’s location within the building is another factor. A healthy number of New York’s most luxurious apartments are at the top (penthouses).
Building: The building’s own presence, appeal, location, design, and amenities can influence the apartment’s status as “most luxurious.” Newer buildings with cutting-edge amenities, doormen, private lobbies, etc., may be considered more luxurious.
Amenities: Apartment-specific amenities like a private elevator, swimming pools, terrace/roof gardens, and private foyers add to these apartment’s splendor.
Built and Size: Most luxurious apartments in the city incorporate high-end materials in their construction. This includes expensive stones for kitchen countertops, exclusive bathtubs, and other high-end materials and items. They are also usually quite large, and some of them may have additional stories (duplexes).
History: In some cases, the history of the apartment buildings and the apartment itself, like past residents, can also characterize New York’s most luxurious apartments.Unique amenities like a car elevator, private IMAX theater, and member-only clubs and restaurants can also add to the lavishness of these apartments.
