A studio at 200 East 27th St. comes with access to a furnished roof deck.

It may seem like Seattle outside, but the sun will come out again soon, and when it does, many New Yorkers will be looking to spend their free time under the blue sky. In this vein, we were surprised to learn last week that one in seven residences sold in the city last year included some sort of private outdoor space, according to appraisal firm Miller Samuel.

Private outdoor space can add as much as 25 percent to the cost of an apartment, according to the firm's formula. Common outdoor space, like a shared roof deck, is another option for people seeking access to some fresh air at home, without paying quite as much of a premium. Keeping up common outdoor space is part of apartment owners' building maintenance fee. The fee can average $1,500 a month for some Manhattan co-ops, but you can find some apartments with much lower maintenance fees, as we did for a few of the listings here. 

Here are five co-op apartments—three studios and two one-bedrooms—in Manhattan with roof deck access for less than $650,000. They are all having open houses this weekend.
