NYC Buildings With Pools for Sale

Whether it is a lap pool on a sky-level amenity floor in Midtown or an outdoor rooftop pool in Long Island City, on-site pool access is one of the most scrutinized amenity line items in a building's maintenance budget. In my experience placing buyers in full-amenity buildings, the key questions are always: indoor or outdoor, heated year-round, and what is the annual maintenance cost per unit? Start by browsing our condo listings, check Long Island City market reports, or read our condo offering plan guide.

How much does it cost to live in a building with a pool?

Monthly common charges in pool buildings typically range from $1,500 to $5,000+ for a one-bedroom. The pool contributes through lifeguard staffing, water treatment, and annual DOH inspections. Request the last two years of audited financials to assess reserve health.

Which neighborhoods have pool buildings?

Midtown South, Hudson Yards, Battery Park City, and Long Island City have the highest concentration. Many were built after 2005 when amenity packages became primary marketing tools for new condo development.

Do pool buildings require DOH permits?

Yes. All residential pools must be registered with and inspected by the NYC Department of Health under Article 165. Buyers should request the building's current DOH pool permit and most recent inspection report. A pool out of compliance can trigger special assessments.

Buying Tip from Milton Coste

Ask the managing agent for the pool's closure history over the past three years. DOH violations, filter failures, and seasonal closures from staffing shortages are more common than buyers expect. A pool closed more than two full seasons is not a functioning amenity and should not be weighted heavily in your offer.
