Mike Tauber's book.
When it comes to real estate, location is almost everything. But in cities like New York, San Francisco, and Miami, buyers will also pay a premium for another feature: the view.In Manhattan, the most coveted and costly view is of Central Park. With a median listing price of $3.79 million, homes with a view of the park carry a premium of 39.9%, according to Realtor.com.
Mike Tauber has been exploring these sights for 15 years as an interior and architecture photographer in New York City. He's photographed hundreds of homes and their views, and he recently collected them in a book called "Vista Manhattan: Views from New York City's Finest Residences."
Below, see nine stunning views captured by Tauber from penthouses across New York City.
