In dense cities, where space and time are at a premium, these amenities are redefining urban luxury. Alexa Lambert, a New York City residential broker with Compass, is leading sales at several properties that embrace this recreational revolution.

At The Henry, a new boutique condominium on the Upper West Side, residents enjoy Manhattan’s first indoor pickleball court in a residential building. On the Upper East Side, Lambert leads sales at both 255 East 77th Street and 200 East 75th Street, each offering state-of-the-art golf and multi-sport simulators. Residents can perfect their swing year-round or enjoy interactive games such as hockey, soccer, and baseball—all without leaving home.

“We have seen so much enthusiasm for both the golf simulator and pickleball,” Lambert says. “Both are activities that all ages enjoy, and are amenities that give people the feeling that their building can provide them with an ‘endless summer’ feeling.”

That’s especially appealing in a city like New York, where recreational space is scarce and often costly.

“Having a place to practice your golf game or play pickleball creates an opportunity that is really lifechanging for a resident,” she says.
