Summer At Home: How NYC's Luxury Developments Are Redefining Family Living
July 7, 2025

Many families across New York City are discovering that the most exciting part of the season isn’t

happening at distant vacation destinations or crowded summer camps—it’s unfolding right at home.

Luxury residential resorts worldwide are embracing immersive, family-first programming that transforms

everyday living into extraordinary experiences. This same energy is now reflected in many of the city’s

top luxury buildings, where amenity spaces are intentionally designed to spark creativity, play, and

connection for children and teens without ever leaving the building. The developments below stand out

with their innovative family-friendly amenities.

At The Willow in Gramercy, summer takes on a distinctly creative and adventurous tone through two

amenity spaces that capture the imagination of residents both young and old. The building’s nautical themed playroom transforms ordinary afternoons into maritime adventures, complete with ship-inspired

design elements that encourage imaginative play and exploration. Children can navigate their own indoor

voyages while parents appreciate the thoughtful design that seamlessly blends whimsy with

sophistication.

The true centerpiece of family entertainment at The Willow lies in the music-focused Glamercy Room,

where a professional recording studio creates opportunities for artistic expression that extend far beyond

typical residential amenities. This podcast-friendly environment features state-of-the-art equipment and

acoustic treatments that support everything from family music sessions to teenage podcast experiments.

The performance-ready atmosphere encourages residents to explore their creative voices, whether

they’re recording original songs, hosting family talent shows, or simply enjoying the unique experience

of professional-quality sound in their own building.
