We've seen more and more outdoor showers pop up on terraces throughout the city. If your terrace is far from prying eyes, it's a fun concept! Just remember to account for the special breed of New Yorker who uses binoculars to spy on their neighbors...ow.ly/5nQv50rBTnV

NYC didn't make the "best-of" list for ANY generation in this report! Guess it's hard to quantify why we all love this city through numbers alone...ow.ly/Ty8C50rSREl

What salary would you guess a New Yorker needs in order to buy a median-priced home? It's a lot—but it may not actually be as much as you'd think (and is less than you'll need for Boston and Denver, according to this piece)! Click through to find out. ow.ly/1Fll50rzjAY

In co-ops, should terrace owners pay extra because of increased water costs for irrigating their terraces? Probably not—common expenses are divvied up by the# of shares a unit is allocated. Units with roof terraces almost always have a higher # of shares! ow.ly/iiHI50rSqof?

Do you know how much you need saved to buy a home on TOP of the down payment? It varies, and it NYC it's often even higher depending on condo or co-op escrow or financing requirements. Here's a good starter guide: apartmenttherapy.com/how-much-savin…

If the MTA can use their rooftop space for solar panels, regular New Yorkers should be able to as well! There are still lots of hurdles when it comes to putting solar panels on rooftops in NYC, but increasing solar energy usage is the future. ow.ly/KKuS50rDmTO

Love this chic, bohemian terrace! This just goes to show that you don't necessarily need elaborate features or huge spaces to make a great-looking terrace. Would love to hang out on this one! ow.ly/7EgQ50rW76f

We've said it before and we'll say it again—the NYC real estate market owes much of its existence for the elevator! Architecture critic Barr Ferree even called it "the great equalizer of civilization." Read a great piece on its storied history here: ow.ly/po1d50rz5K9

Great piece from @nytimes on the benefits of green roofs! They're getting increasingly popular for homeowners in NYC, but most people are still murky on what they actually are (hint: they're not always the same as terraces or balconies). Learn more here: ow.ly/B6TY50oieVb

One thing that's often overlooked as a terrace feature, both in public and private spaces: sculpture. The Met's yearly rooftop exhibition opens today with a sculpture from Alicja Kwade. Hopefully it's as cool as the scale model makes it look! ow.ly/gmnc50p5BC3

Getting some minimalist terrace vibes from this 2016 installation on the Whitney Museum's rooftop by artist Virginia Overton. Although this is technically an art piece, we can easily see it translating into a rooftop pond garden in a residential setting! ow.ly/eTRb30odGBb

Very funny (and also surprisingly accurate) translation of some of the most common broker phrases/euphemisms! Our team has been as guilty of this as anyone else from time to time...😂 ow.ly/rWaN50ohSfs
