Whether you know it as the city that never sleeps or the Big Apple, New York City is the home of dreamers filled with remarkable culture, excitement and wonder. New York began hosting the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade back in 1924, and ever since, the tradition has grown into a beloved Thanksgiving staple for millions of families. While there aren’t designated areas for individuals to watch the parade in-person this year, there are plenty of prime spots indoors that offer a one-of-a-kind parade view. Start researching now so you can be moved in by 2021, because trust us, these views are what dreams are made of! Here are some of our favorite listings on the traditional parade route!

The Panoramic Condo
Overlooking the beautiful scenery of Central Park, this New York, New York condo offers exquisite amenities to any potential buyers. Located on the 24th floor, this high-rise home will give its residents a view they’ll love for a lifetime. Listed for just over $16 million, the three bedroom, four bathroom property includes high ceilings, sun-filled rooms with massive windows, and a location to die for – right at the end of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade traditional route.
Central Park Beauty
The parade begins at the corner of 77th Street and Central Park West. The apartments in The Majestic on Central Park West give spectators a beautiful view of the parade’s starting point. Lucky for you — we found a listing with a breathtaking view!

This highly desired A-line apartment offers elegance, pops of color and a timeless overall feel. A grand foyer leads you to a spacious living room, decorated with a beautiful fireplace and grand piano. The artwork displayed throughout the apartment brings in a more contemporary feel, but compliments the home’s elegance perfectly. One of the rooms holds the potential to be a grand library (instead of books, right now beautiful China is on display), but our favorite room is the main bedroom. Painted with beautiful shades of pink, white and connected to a matching bathroom, the room is effortlessly stunning. We can picture ourselves opening those double-doored windows each morning and enjoying a special New York City view. If you’re crushing on this property like we are — take our virtual tour!
A Suite Condo
After the parade kicks off, larger-than-life balloons and floats will make their way down to Columbus Circle. This condo is guaranteed to give you the suite life — it’s located inside a hotel!

As you sit high above the sky, you’ll have access to views of the Statue of Liberty, the Hudson River and of course… The Macy’s Parade! Listed for $6.25 million, you’ll find modern furniture, all-marble bathrooms and unimaginable windows. There’s nothing more you could ask for! Plus, as a resident of this hotel, you’ll not only enjoy all the guest amenities, but special residential ones as well. This condo is an ideal space for any busy New Yorker — we’re already jealous of these stunning sunset views!
