March Madness: Best NYC Condo and Rental Buildings with Basketball Courts

By CityRealty Staff | From Brooklyn Friday, March 22, 2024

The Max via TF Cornerstone

As of this writing, the March Madness college basketball tournament is well underway. On the men's side, several upsets had many scrambling to adjust their brackets. On the women's side, the meteoric rise of Iowa Hawkeyes player Caitlin Clark has many tuning in.

The return of March Madness might inspire some to get back on the court, whether to relive their glory days or for the fun of it, but the local forecast is not exactly conducive to it: Heavy rain is predicted for Saturday with strong winds to follow on Sunday and temperatures not expected to rise any higher than the mid-fifties. And if the weather was perfect, the city's public basketball courts would likely fill up fast.

However, some lucky New Yorkers are well positioned to get in the game: These residential buildings all over the city count indoor basketball courts among their amenities. And for those who'd rather watch than play, the extensive amenity packages also include lounges with big-screen TVs.
