The living-room centered in this listing photo for a West Village one-bedroom is small, but it feels more spacious with an open layout.

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 have an entire house with a roomy backyard on City Island and a south-facing one-bedroom in the middle of the West Village.

There are many reasons we keep returning to Jackson Heights, such as space, pricing, and original details. This prewar Art Deco co-op was designed by Sylvan Bien, who was behind the Carlyle hotel and a number of Park and Fifth Avenue co-ops. It has a sizable layout with an open living room that flows into the dining room and a kitchen with stainless-steel appliances. The bedroom fits a king-size bed and has two windows, including a nice corner one that overlooks the interior courtyard. There’s also lots of storage space in the form of four closets, and if that’s not enough, there’s storage downstairs as well, along with a gym. Just don’t pay too much attention to the “cascading waterfall fountains” out front, which look like they’ve seen better days. The monthlies are doable at $914, and it’s off an express 7-train stop so you can zoom into work.

Sometimes, you see an entire house for under a million dollars in New York City and you know to proceed with caution. But this one may fulfill your suburban dreams as it comes with a driveway, garage, and backyard. The interiors of this four-bedroom Colonial are a bit out-of-date (it has stayed in the same family for a century), but who cares when you have a covered patio in back, a breakfast alcove, and a backyard this spacious? The house is on a double lot, which means there’s room to expand the house or simply to run around in. City Island isn’t the most accessible place, but you won’t really have to leave — it’s a little microcosm of its own, and the house comes with access to a private beach down the street.

This prewar co-op is in prime West Village territory, close to the West 4th Street subway stop. It’s small, but the open kitchen and high ceilings make it feel spacious. The south-facing windows, including one over the kitchen sink, flood the space with light, and the apartment has a few other features, like exposed brick and built-in bookshelves. Pricewise, it’s comparable to other one-bedrooms in the neighborhood but is more centrally located and has a bit more space. The monthlies are on the higher end ($1,277) and kitchen storage is lacking, but restaurants like I Sodi and Via Carota are just down the street.

For those who need a water view, this co-op has expansive windows that overlook the East River. (Some of the view is obscured by buildings, but the listing promises the river is visible from every window.) The gallery off the combined living-dining room looks like it would work perfectly for a home office, and the rest of the apartment is spacious with two big bedrooms — the exception is the small galley kitchen. There are two walk-ins and three other closets, so all your storage needs are handled. The main downside is the high monthlies at $1,844. The building has a gym, a laundry, bicycle storage, and a garage, and it’s right next to the expansive riverside Carl Schurz Park with a dog run and playground (and it’s connected to Gracie Mansion).
