If you’re buying a new condo in New York City you may have trouble convincing your kids to leave the building to go out to play. That’s because developers are including next-level playrooms, skate parks, virtual reality rooms, and rooftop pools for the whole family to enjoy.
You’ll find many of these developments on the west side of Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn and Queens. At Waterline Square your kids can enjoy the playroom and indoor skate park, Brooklyn Point in Downtown Brooklyn has an indoor playroom with forts and slides and a game room, and The Cortland in West Chelsea has a virtual reality room with video games, a screening room, and playroom.
Of course these are all new luxury developments so you’re going to pay a premium compared to scaled-back buildings. Your monthly common charges will likely be higher but you’ll also benefit from other lavish amenities like gyms, pools, and parks—plus your apartment will probably have in-unit laundry, central air, and luxe finishes.
To help with your search, here are five two-bedroom apartments for sale in buildings with kid-friendly amenities in Downtown Brooklyn, Morningside Heights, Upper West Side, West Chelsea, and Lincoln Square.
