Slam Dunks: NYC's Best Condo and Rental Buildings for Enjoying March Madness
By CityRealty Staff
Monday, March 13, 2023
The second full week of March 2023 marks the beginning of NCAA March Madness. The men's games begins on Tuesday, March 14, and the women's games begin the next day on Wednesday, March 15.
The return of the college basketball tournament 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: During a storm briefing for a major nor'easter, Governor Kathy Hochul said, "Stay home [and] work on your brackets." New York City is expected to get off lightly compared to the heavy snow predicted to hit upstate, but a cold and wet forecast is nevertheless in the cards.
However, some lucky New Yorkers can get into the game regardless of weather - these residential buildings all over the city count indoor basketball courts among their amenities. And for those who'd rather watch than play, the amenity packages also include lounges with big-screen TVs.
