The pandemic introduced remote learning into the lives of children, a necessity brought on by the spread of COVID-19. However, kids need to be kids. They need a space to play, interact, let their wild side out, and without school as an outlet; many children have struggled. This is why play space and children-oriented amenities have become the ultimate amenity.

It is all the more important in New York City, a crowded and congested place where space for active play is relatively limited. Lucky for residents of some condominiums in the New York City area, many places have prioritized children and family-friendly amenities to help their young residents blow off steam.

Here are some of the New York residences offering incredible family-friendly amenities.
