Finding a Park Near Your NYC Apartment
FEBRUARY 21, 2012
If outdoor public space is important to you, make sure there’s a park near your new apartment.
Going for an early morning jog, sunbathing on a summer afternoon, and other outdoor activities are high on the must-do list of many city-dwellers. Parks are important to everyday life in New York, and nearly every NYC neighborhood has at least one park in or near it.
The New York City Parks Department park finder can help you find outdoor green space anywhere in the city. With this easy-to-use tool, you can search by location and/or facilities—handball courts, dog runs, hiking trails, playgrounds and more. There’s also an interactive parks map so you can zoom in on your desired neighborhood for a closer look.
Great parks are one reason why apartment buildings near them are in such high demand—like the multitude of apartment buildings on Central Park West next to Central Park, as well as apartment buildings near other popular New York City parks like Washington Square Park, Riverside Park, and Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. If you’re apartment hunting and enjoy the outdoors, check out the parks in your target neighborhoods.
