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’ve found you an Upper West Side studio with a wood-burning fireplace and a Juliet balcony and a well-priced Windsor Terrace two-bedroom.
The bedroom of this Clinton Hill co-op, as shown in listing photos, is just large enough, with windows on two walls, that it could be split in two.

For prime Clinton Hill, this spacious one-bedroom, one-bath apartment seems fairly priced. Between Greene and Lafayette, it’s in a prewar co-op with arched doorways, pretty built-ins, and storybook six-over-six windows. It faces the building’s back courtyard, which has a pleasant-seeming little lounge area with Adirondack chairs. The bedroom has three windows on two different walls and is large enough that it could (just barely) be split into two legal bedrooms. It comes with bike storage, laundry in the building, and a reasonable monthly maintenance of $945 a month.
This studio, as shown in listing photos, has big bay windows on one side and everything else tucked into the other: a compact kitchen, a lofted sleeping area that fits a queen bed, a bathroom, and under-stair storage space.

This studio has huge bay windows, 11-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and a Juliet balcony. There’s also a sleeping loft above a small kitchen, accessed via a normal set of stairs (rather than a ladder), with built-in storage underneath. The co-op has laundry in the basement and a shared rooftop terrace. The wallpaper covering about half of the apartment is certainly jaunty, and the location, while more Morningside Heights than Upper West Side proper, is idyllic, between Riverside and West End.

A comfortably proportioned one-bedroom, one-bath co-op in a brownstone a few blocks from Central Park. (The building faces the back of the Spence School, and the Corner Bookstore is just down the street.) This apartment has nice natural light and well-sized rooms, including the kitchen, which often feels like an afterthought in many brownstone apartments. The living room is large enough for a proper dining table and chairs, and while this apartment doesn’t have a washer-dryer, the board of this nine-unit building does permit them. Cats are allowed, but not dogs.
A Windsor Terrace corner two-bedroom, as shown in listing photos, is roomy, with a nook for a desk off the living room and multiple closets.

This two-bedroom, one-bathroom located in a 1950s co-op across the street from Green-Wood Cemetery has a lot going for it: large rooms, a foyer, plenty of closets, a recent renovation, a price that’s fairly reasonable for a two-bedroom in the neighborhood, and maintenance of just over $1,000 a month. And while McDonald Avenue is a busy street, this apartment is a corner unit in the back of the building. The co-op has basement laundry, bike storage, and a courtyard. There’s also a parking garage, although, not surprisingly, it has a wait list.
