Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer for New Yorkers. Some would be happy to mark the occasion with a swim, and this year’s forecast is highly conducive to it, but New York City’s public pools will not open until June 29, 2023.

New York’s new developments have no shortage of indoor pools, but outdoor pools offer the atmosphere of a community pool, not to mention outstanding views and lounge areas that would be the envy of most elite country clubs. And for the ultimate in luxury, we look at apartments that come with their own private pools.

Hell's Kitchen condos Rooftop pool (Adrian Gaut)
547 West 47th Street's extensive amenity program is known as The West Residence Club for the thoughtful staff and array of wellness and social amenities. The crowning glory is the landscaped rooftop park with outdoor pool, sun deck, grilling stations, and dog run, all of which are enhanced by views of the Hudson River.

217-West-57th-Street-01 Central Park Tower (Extell)
Billionaires Row condos
By virtue of Central Park Tower's soaring height, all residences enjoy sweeping views of the world's most iconic skyline. So, too, do visitors to the 14th floor pool with cabanas, sun deck, and private park. The pool deck also offers food and beverage service several cuts above the refreshments at most community pools.

251-West-91st-Street-01 The Westly (Reuveni LLC)
Upper West Side condos
By virtue of its unique architecture and creative cantilever, The Westly's upper floors are able to span across several more feet of square footage than their ground-floor lot area. This made room for a rooftop pool with lounge areas and views of classic Upper West Side architecture.

30-Front-Street-01 Olympia (Pavel Bendov)
DUMBO condos Rooftop pool (Sotheby's International Realty)
Residential amenities at Olympia are spread over three levels, one of which is an outdoor terrace overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge. It includes an outdoor pool and hot tub with some of the most impressive views in the city; those who don't feel like swimming can enjoy features like a children's playground and water park, cabanas, grilling areas, and New York's highest outdoor tennis court.

9-Dekalb-Avenue-01 The Brooklyn Tower (Douglas Elliman)
Downtown Brooklyn condos
The Brooklyn Tower has utterly transformed its local skyline, though not at the expense of local architecture: The landmarked Dime Savings Bank was incorporated into the new development, and the bank's iconic Gustavino dome is the centerpiece of the outdoor pool. This area also features a hot tub, lounge areas, and BBQ grills.

Rentals
241-West-28th-Street-01 Ruby (DBOX)
Chelsea rentals
Between its biophilic design principles and airy apartments, Ruby has breathed new life into a former parking lot across the street from FIT. The rooftop terrace features an outdoor pool, lounge areas, grills, and views of the Empire State Building.

311-Eleventh-Avenue-01 3ELEVEN (Douglaston Development)
Hudson Yards rentals
Across the street from Hudson Yards, 3ELEVEN makes its own mark on the new West Side skyline, not to mention the local rental market with its well-appointed apartments and extensive amenities. A lushly landscaped pool deck enjoys lounge areas, cabanas, and views of the Hudson River.

626-First-Avenue-01 The Copper (Compass)
NYC rentals
An East River skyline standout, The Copper offers not one but two jaw-dropping pools: The indoor pool is located in the three-story skybridge connecting both towers, and the AYRE rooftop pool offers plush loungers, cabanas, towel service, showers, and panoramic skyline, river, and bridge views.

595-Dean-Street-01 595 Dean Street (TF Cornerstone)
Brooklyn rentals
The newest component of the Pacific Park master plan, 595 Dean Street brings new public park space and a Chelsea Piers outpost to its Brooklyn neighborhood. However, the rooftop terrace with outdoor pool, sun deck, grills, and open views is exclusive to residents of the building.

29-59-Northern-Boulevard-01 Sven (The Durst Organization)
Long Island City rentals
Sven has taken shape in a newly bustling section of Long Island City with easy access to public transportation. However, an outdoor pool with lounge chairs and a green wall offers a peaceful oasis in the midst of this busy area.
