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: views.
This top-floor converted one-bedroom, as seen in this listing photo, comes with incredible views in just about every room.

A studio that’s been converted to a one-bedroom in a Brooklyn Heights co-op. Lots to love here: It’s a top-floor apartment on one of the neighborhood’s beloved fruit streets, with views of the city’s skyline or the Brooklyn Bridge in just about every room. There are original details throughout: lovely narrow-beam hardwood floors and plaster-arched doorways — and the ten-foot ceilings are pretty great. Per the listing, it’s “European style” in the kitchen, with stainless-steel appliances and a sweet marble pass-through. The bedroom is small but can fit a queen. The bathroom is simple black-and-white tile and a console sink. It’s just $754 a month for the maintenance fees, and they get you quite a bit: a live-in super, shared laundry, and bike storage, plus a communal-garden courtyard with barbecue grills. Also, it’s walking distance to the Promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park and just two minutes from the 2/3 at Clark Street.
This one-bedroom in Lincoln Square, as seen in this listing photo, has quite a bit of a space and gets great light.

A one-bedroom in the Lincoln Towers where, per the listing, “layout, lifestyle, and ease all come together.” Sounds nice! The living room is spacious, the dappled light in the listing photos is appealing, and the oversize windows offer skyline views down West End Avenue. (They’re also soundproof.) The kitchen’s a renovated galley with slate floors and stainless-steel appliances plus a good amount of cabinetry. (The bathroom’s been refreshed, too.) The bedroom fits a king and has a decent-size closet (there are two others in the common spaces, including a walk-in). Some additional perks: The HVAC system’s been recently updated, and the George Nelson hanging lamps in the dining area are yours to keep. Monthlies are $1,674 but cover electricity, heat, cooling, gas, and water, on top of the amenity spread that includes a 24-hour doorman and a live-in super, a gym, a community room, bike storage, and package room. You’re right around the corner from Café Luxembourg and less than ten minutes from Trader Joe’s and the 1/2/3 at 72nd Street with its mildly famous brass doors.
This Park Slope two-bedroom, as seen in this listing photo, is all about the prewar charm.

A floor-through two-bedroom co-op with lots of prewar charm, including all original moldings and trims. The seller recently updated the windowed kitchen with a new LG washer-dryer combo and GE five-burner gas range, plus gray cabinetry with gold hardware. The spacious primary bedroom can fit a king and comes with one of the apartment’s two closets (the other is just off the foyer) and southeastern exposures that look out on a church and townhouses. Off the primary bedroom is a svelte second bedroom that could work as a home office or nursery. (I feel like we say that a lot — we’re open to your suggestions.) It’s a skylight situation in the bathroom — how fun! The monthlies are $1,018, which gets you a bike room and additional storage space that you’ll definitely need. You’re also a nine-minute walk to the R and F trains at Union Street and Union Hall for bocce.
This one-bedroom in Park Slope, as seen in this listing photo, is tight on storage, but at least the building is castle-like.

Another Park Slope option, this time a one-bedroom co-op in the Chiclet Mansion — basically a Romanesque Revival mini-castle. (And, yes, it was built for the chewing-gum founder.) The living area has half-moon casement windows that we love, while the kitchen nook is a sleek and open concept with granite countertops and lots of cabinet storage. The bedroom can fit a queen, and there’s more exposed brick in there too, along with a decorative fireplace and a wall-length closet. (Storage is admittedly tight here, with just one other closet located in the living area.) The bathroom’s been updated and has a full-size tub. There’s shared laundry and a bike room in the building, both of which are covered by the $781 monthlies. You’re a block from Prospect Park and a six-minute walk or less from the 2/3 trains and weekend farmers’ market at Grand Army Plaza.
