The Kent in Yorkville features an indoor and outdoor playroom called Camp Kent.

The Kent

New, high-end condo developments in New York City are taking kid-friendly amenities up a notch: Buildings like Saint Marks Place in Boerum Hill and The Kent in Yorkville are going beyond just bare-bones playrooms and playgrounds to offer luxurious, custom-designed spaces.

Think: Indoor tree houses, landscaped outdoor play areas, art studios, and rock climbing walls. And you can find slightly older condos that also have kid- and teen friendly amenities too. (Brick tested these with both kids and teens in recent years—the older kids were wowed by the music studio, bowling alley, and golf simulator.)

Consider it your back up plan when your trip to the zoo gets rained out or you can't deal with another trip to the Children’s Museum. Either way, having a distraction just a few floors down from your apartment can make life a lot easier when the kids start climbing the apartment walls—send them downstairs to the rock climbing wall!
