Funny cause I viewed an apartment in a luxury building last week but rejected it cause it had no views except to a brick wall. I think people need to take what they really want (and can afford). A view may not be important to some people but living in a dark space is not healthy.
So the way that I deal with that is simply to reject the apartment.
Large beautiful art on the wall. Large plants next to the window. Keep the windows/curtain open as much as you can to let in natural lights. IKEA and Fortunoff always has large beautiful landscape/seascape artwork.
I think “Rear Window” apartments can be interesting. I lived in one like that years ago and I didn’t see any murders, but I did have decent light and it wasn’t overly noisy at night. But I had to remember when to pull the curtains. Across the way some people forgot—and probably wished the hadn’t!

Were there actual murders that happened while you were there? Lol. I guess that is a good selling point in NYC. No views guarantees that you won't see any murders or crime which is currently a plague in NYC.

When your view is a wall it doesn’t seem you’ll get much natural light.
If the walls are painted a light color and the windows are open, the effect of the smell of fresh air and the breeze will give a sense of outdoors and 'natural light'
I would love a bedroom that faced a wall with nothing else near me. Those are worth gold IMO. I would need at least one view of the street in the living room.

I think the murders refers to the "Rear Window" film reference.
Recuperating from a broken leg, professional photographer L. B. "Jeff" Jefferies is confined to a wheelchair in his apartment in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. His rear window looks out onto a courtyard and other apartments. During an intense heat wave, he watches his neighbors, who keep their windows open to stay cool. They are a lonely woman whom Jeff nicknames 'Miss Lonelyhearts', a newlywed couple, a pianist, a pretty dancer nicknamed 'Miss Torso', a middle-aged couple whose small dog likes digging in the flower garden, and Lars Thorwald, a traveling costume jewelry salesman with a bedridden wife.
Jeff is visited regularly by his socialite girlfriend, Lisa Fremont, and a nurse named Stella. One night after an argument with Lisa, Jeff is alone in his apartment and hears a woman scream, "Don't!" and the sound of breaking glass. Later that night, during a thunderstorm, he observes Thorwald making repeated late-night trips carrying a suitcase. The next morning, Jeff notices that Thorwald's wife is gone, and sees him cleaning a large knife and handsaw. Thorwald also has moving men haul away a large trunk. Jeff becomes convinced that Thorwald has murdered his wife, and shares this with Lisa and Stella, who believe him when they observe Thorwald acting suspiciously.
