Is it only New York City apartments?

Apartment house developers in NYC have gone wild in offering amenities to residents. It's possible that part of the reasoning is to offset the fact that, since the mid-1990s, the average size of rental units has dropped to about 900 square feet from more than 1,000 square feet. If you're thinking of moving, here are some of the amenities offered:

rock ’n’ roll rehearsal rooms, 
Imax theaters, 
bike-repair stations, 
stargazing sessions, 
woodworking shops, 
greenhouses for growing herbs, 
yoga classes for dogs, 
wine cellars,
music rehearsal space that offers use of a drum kit, karaoke machine and Fender electric guitar,
a gym, 
library,
golf simulator,
pool, 
library,
Porsche bicycles that can be borrowed for rides of up to 12 hours, 
a “lifestyle director” who intends to book rock bands and comedians for in-house performances, in addition to planning other get-to-know-your-neighbor activities.
