Tomorrow is the Fourth of July, which means anyone with a view of the fireworks is probably scrambling to get all the supplies ready for their barbecue, while everyone else is trying to figure out how they’ll get there. It’s the one time of year when the maximum capacity for patios and rooftop decks is seriously tested. If you’d like to be the one getting texts from people you haven’t heard from in months to see “what you’re up to for the 4th,” then these are the homes for you! Each has a jealousy-inducing view of a professional fireworks display.
