I have a room between my kitchen and dining room--creates like an "L". I like that it's on the 1st floor and near my kitchen. I don't like that I have to go through it to bring food to the table. My kids know they can't have toys near the doorway and are pretty good about it.

Until the age of about 7 they want parent close by, so if little ones are in the basement I’m there. If I leave they follow

In a converted sunroom (a previous owner converted it, not us) across the length of the playroom.

It’s in the basement, but I have some games and baby toys in the study, so kids can play some things in the family room

Ideally I would have it off the kitchen, so kids could still see and feel like I’m in the same room while they are playing and I’m cooking
But my current playroom is the den.. not so far from the kitchen but a totally different room

Our apartment doesn't officially have a playroom. We use a bedroom as the playroom.

Its supposed to be the basement but I have a home office/den right off my kitchen and my kids converted that to the playroom.

Similar idea, in my foyer right where you walk in.
Also, hallway right off the bathroom near the toy/linen/storage closet. So that in middle of the night when running to the bathroom (9th month of preg) you step on a million little tiny toys and stub each toe possible

The little kids will only play right next to me so I have it right off the kitchen. I’m very strict with no toys in kitchen and no food in playroom. We love it.
It’s a tiny space but they play there all day. In our previous apartment our playroom was huge and super fun, but it was in the attic. Only the older kids used it. It was a giant waste of space.
In my experience playrooms for little kids are best off the kitchen, family room. Teenagers/ preteens do appreciate privacy so their hangout space can be anywhere cozy and comfy.

We just made an addition to add more space and added a small playroom off the kitchen for the younger kids to use. And created a separate family/chill room half a flight down off the main level for the older kids/teens to read, play games and hang out with friends. Both these rooms are now used daily.
Prior to the addition, the playroom was in the basement, a full flight below, and rarely ever got used.
