We couldn’t talk about ideal apartments that encourage taking a nosh outdoors without including this unit at the modern Yves tower in Chelsea. A 26-foot-deep, L-shaped terrace provides an astounding amount of private outdoor space in this part of the city. Grilling season is just around the corner, so act quickly.

One charming aspect of most townhouses is their backyards, providing a suburban feel in this most urban of cities. At 161 State Street in bucolic Brooklyn Heights, a vast garden and rear deck beckon, and the 20-foot-wide Greek Revival house also has a roof deck and garden area in front of the house. The large lot just needs a little TLC to create a true outdoor oasis.
