For under a million dollars, one can find all sorts of housing configurations: park- and subway-adjacent studios, one-bedrooms hidden in carriage houses or former shoe factories, and even the occasional true two-bedroom. We’re combing the market for particularly spacious, nicely renovated, or otherwise worth-a-look apartments at various six-digit price points.
We found you a light-filled one-bedroom in Park Slope and a mid-century modern condo just a few blocks south of Central Park.
An Astoria one-bedroom for $590,000
This is the unusual pre-war co-op that has a ton of amenities: The building has a gym, co-working space, and children’s playroom along with a roof deck, a garden courtyard, a laundry room, and bike and stroller storage. Monthlies are relatively manageable ($798). As for the apartment itself, there’s a west-facing bedroom with a custom-built closet and an open chef’s kitchen with Bosch appliances and a huge Ceaser stone island that allows for ample counter space and barstool seating.
A three-bedroom in Crown Heights for $995,000
A rare three-bedroom in the middle of Crown Heights for just shy of $1 million. The unit hasn’t been overly scraped of its pre-war details but still comes with a fully renovated kitchen and in-unit washer and dryer. The apartment has its own 750 square feet of private roof space right above it. But warning — this also means that your apartment will be on the fourth floor of a walk-up.
A Midtown one-bedroom for $849,999
This apartment just a few blocks south of Central Park is full of really nice details — like the terracotta tiling on the bathroom and kitchen floors and the built-in mid-century modern shelving unit in the living room. The bedroom fits a king-size bed and there’s central heat and air. The listing claims the apartment will “be the backdrop for your intimate moments,” which is both true and too much information. Common charges are a bit high — $1,338 plus a $293.50 monthly capital assessment until December 2024 — and don’t include laundry, storage, and garage space, which you must pay extra for.
A one-bedroom in Park Slope for $795,000
This co-op on the corner of 6th Avenue and Prospect Place has light coming in from three sides — one of which is a charming bay window nook that fits an eat-in kitchen table. There are lots of thoughtful touches: huge red pocket doors, two decorative fireplaces, built-in bookshelves, and a Miele washer and dryer. Plus you’ve got a side room for a small office, and if you ever need to go into work, there’s a Citi Bike dock right outside your door.
