There are few skylines more majestic and iconic than that of New York City's Manhattan. And in October of 2021 I moved to Jersey City's "Heights" which has one of the best views. My wife and I chose an apartment on the 2nd floor which has no view (unless you like the backyards of the houses on Ogden Street), but we did get 3 walk-in closets. Still, it's just a 10-second ride up the elevator to the rooftop deck.
From sunrise to the dark of night, this is what you get to see from my rooftop.
