Most of the time when out-of-towners picture New York in their minds, they think of condensed housing in the Big Apple where concrete structures make up your backyard. But our residents know that is almost always not the case when it comes to having a backyard in our state. From the Finger Lakes to Long Island, New Yorkers have the pleasure of breathtaking views as soon as they step foot outside their doors. These are too beautiful to describe with words. Take a look at these gorgeous backyards that will make you want to move to our great state.
