A New York City resident has shared the incredible views he experiences from his luxury penthouse apartment – which includes being able to ‘touch clouds’ each day.
The man, who goes by @NYChighlife on TikTok, regularly uploads videos of spectacular views from his home, from dazzling sunsets over the city to thick, ominous fog that engulfs the top half of the building.
The resident appears to live in 30 Hudson Yards, a distinguishable ‘supertall’ skyscraper situated on the West Side of Midtown Manhattan.
At 1,270 feet, it currently stands as the seventh-tallest building in New York City, and the ninth-tallest in the United States – so it’s no surprise it offers one of the most stellar views of the Big Apple.
The building also has a triangular observation deck, named The Edge, on the 100th floor, as well as a bar and event space on the 101st floor.
In one clip, uploaded in 2022, the resident showed off the ‘beautiful view’ from his apartment on a particularly wet and gloomy day, which often results in white clouds blanketing the top of the building.
The man explained that he his journey home is ‘long and perilous’, but it’s ‘all worth it to see the world above the clouds’.
In the video, he gets the lift to his apartment at the top of the building, before turning the camera to the ‘blinding white light’ shining through the windows in his lounge.

He then sticks his hand out of the window – which does not appear to have a safety lock installed – to demonstrate how he can touch the ‘moist’ clouds.
Eerily, he pans he camera to the ground below, which is entirely blocked from view from the thick clouds above.
In another recent video, the resident flaunted the stunning spectacle from his high-rise home as a golden sunset swept over New York City, which saw him ‘hurry’ to his apartment to get a birds-eye view.
He captured his ascent to the top of the building, including the moment he ‘tipped’ the concierge so he could bypass other residents waiting in line at the elevator and ‘go up as fast as possible past the cheaper floors’.
The man then entered his apartment, before panning his camera towards his windows, where dazzling hues of pink, purple and orange danced over the sprawling skyline and Hudson River.
Although many viewers were left impressed by the resident’s unique view of the city, many slammed the content creator for his ‘rude’ and ‘narcissistic’ attitude, while others questioned the safety of the apartment.
One person wrote: ‘I’d never live there not because I’m scared of heights, but if there’s something happening in the building good luck getting out in time.’
Another observed, ‘Is it me or are the windows terrifying,’ while a third added, ‘Imagine how much more scarier lightning is.’

A fourth said, ‘Legally to have windows open fully on a floor that level is crazy,’ while another quizzed, ‘Anybody else’s stomachs churn a little when she stuck his phone out the window?’
Other questioned the legitimacy of the resident’s so-called ‘luxury’ lifestyle, as one viewer jabbed: ‘Someone who actually has money doesn’t need to validate themselves online by literally only posting about their high rise penthouse.’
Another wrote: ‘Gave him a tip and cheaper floors? I don’t like this narcissistic language tbh.’
A second commented, ‘Why didn’t you just say lower floors? This was rude calling them cheaper floors,’ while a third added, ‘Cheaper floors? You think you live in heaven?’
