A rooftop deck is an outdoor space located on the roof of a large building. Most buildings have access to the roof and it has become increasingly common that the property owner remodels it into usable space, perhaps by adding lights, plants, seating and other decor. Some rooftop decks even have a pool!

Access to a rooftop deck, if there is one, is almost always limited to the tenants that rent in a particular building. Some apartments, especially luxury apartments, may have private access to rooftop outdoor spaces, but most rooftop decks are communal.
