This month, we’ve rounded up five homes with room to accommodate a whole fam-damn-ily. So kiss that high-rise shoebox goodbye and say hello to your new digs, which, we’re sorry, may be in the outer boroughs. But it’s ok. You’re a family man now.

Park Slope, Brooklyn

124 Pioneer Street – $1,500,000 (Pictured at top)
Red Hook, Brooklyn

The benefits: Calling all families with a party of three: this townhouse is situated on a quiet street but designed to satisfy high-minded, metropolitan tastes. Combining artistic touches with a rustic aesthetic, the home offers a floating, modern staircase, but also a wood-burning fireplace. Garage space is definitely a plus, as is the darling wood terrace above. To boot, you’ll be commuting via water taxi, which is very cool.
