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 255 East 77th Street on the Upper East Side, the commitment to creative expression reaches new heights through a state-of-the-art soundproof recording studio and music lounge designed by the internationally acclaimed firm Yabu Pushelberg. The space features formal acoustic treatments that ensure professional-quality sound recording, while the stylish hospitality-inspired design creates an environment that feels both sophisticated and accessible to residents of all ages.

The recording studio serves as a hub for budding musicians, podcasters, and performers who can access professional-grade equipment and acoustics without leaving their residential building. Creative programming enhances the space’s utility, offering structured opportunities for skill development alongside the freedom for spontaneous musical exploration. The combination of technical excellence and thoughtful design makes this amenity a destination within the building, where families can pursue artistic interests with the same level of quality they might expect from dedicated music studios or performance venues.
