Though Central Park West and Fifth Avenue get most of the buzz when it comes to Central Park views, we’ve always admired the views from Central Park South, which allow you to feel completely enmeshed in the Park. This photo speaks for itself, but just to sweeten the deal, the Essex House (a residence and hotel) includes amenities such as concierge service, room service, cleaning service, valet parking and more.

To many, Times Square is one of the ultimate symbols of New York, and being in the thick of it is a rarity when it comes to residences. This one-bedroom apartment in a full-service luxury building right on Broadway has one of the best New Year’s Eve seats out there, and the building itself is an oasis within New York’s busiest neighborhood. These are postcard views, literally.
