The Manhattan market under $1 million contains diverse housing types including park- and subway-adjacent studios, carriage-house one-bedrooms, and occasional true two-bedrooms. A $725,000 Upper East Side unit is a converted one-bedroom studio with oversized south-facing windows, three closets, a basement storage unit, and a serviceable white kitchen. Monthly taxes and common charges total $2,054 and include a 24-hour doorman, bike room, in-building laundry, and roof deck access. Nearby transit includes the Q and 4/5/6 lines and a Fairway supermarket. A $570,000 East Village studio features whitewashed exposed brick, 12-foot ceilings, and a ladder for lofted sleeping with a rendering for conversion.
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. This week, we've got a converted studio on the Upper East Side with a wall of oversize windows and a one-bedroom across the street from Prospect Park with a deeded parking spot.
Per the listing, the wall separating the living and sleeping areas in this apartment was taken down to give the place a "lofty" feel, so what we've got here is a studio that was once a one-bedroom. But the main attraction is obviously the wall of extra-large windows that look right out on the skyline and happen to be south facing, so you can grow your own little jungle.
