By CityRealty Staff Tuesday, August 8, 2023

Pickleball has flitted in and out of fashion since its invention in 1965, but experienced a new appreciation during the pandemic, as people could be active and social while not having to get too physically close. The sport described as a cross between tennis and ping pong has risen in popularity all over the country, but Time Out observes that something about the sport feels uniquely New York – residents live in close proximity yet alone in their apartments or rooms.

A small handful of residential buildings, including supertall The Brooklyn Tower, boutique condominium Jefferson Hancock, have begun to incorporate pickleball courts into their amenity packages. However, the city has no shortage of pickleball courts. This website is a good place to start, and we take a look at listings less than a mile of the city's most popular courts, the better to get home after a particularly vigorous game.
