The area from the West 80s up through the West 90s is popular with families because it’s a little quieter than the area near Lincoln Center and you’re close to both parks. Riverside Park is great for playgrounds and bike rides, and Central Park is a short walk east. When you browse UWS condos for sale with kids in mind, look for buildings with a playroom, storage, an indoor pool and three-bedroom or larger layouts, since those are harder to find than you’d expect. 250 West 96th Street, for example, has homes up to five bedrooms and a children’s playroom, and several schools are within walking distance.
