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, a one-bedroom in the London Terrace Towers (there’s a pool and a sauna) and an East Village two-bedroom with appealing built-ins.

A one-bedroom co-op with nice light and a short walk to Prospect Park. A simple layout with windows in every room — including the nicely sized living room and a bright nook of a kitchen with a dining island. The kitchen itself appears to have gotten a recent-ish renovation with new tiling, a good amount of counter space, and a washer-dryer. The bedroom is king size and comes with a closet and a pair of windows looking out onto leafy Lincoln Place. Maintenance is $1,053 with no real amenities to speak of (there’s a bike room). A decent price for a location that is hot, hot, hot.

An updated one-bedroom co-op in the London Terrace Towers. I find the beamed ceilings here lovely, though your mileage may vary on the light fixture in the otherwise simple and spacious living room. The kitchen has a Carrara-marble island and new appliances. (You may want to paint the cabinets.) The bedroom is large with an extra-deep closet. (There are two other closets in the apartment, and one of them is a walk-in.) The bathroom has been recently renovated with white tiling and clean fixtures. Maintenance is $2,690, but it’s a full-service co-op with a doorman and, crucially, a pool, sauna, and steam room. Worth the price of entry.

A two-bedroom co-op with southwestern exposures and soft archways. The dining foyer is a nice size — you can actually fit a table — and the living room is big and bright. This looks like an oversize one-bedroom conversion, but both bedrooms have windows. The smaller of the two is more child size and lacks closets; the primary bedroom, which is large enough for a king, has two of them. The kitchen and bath have recently been renovated, though the tile choices are not to my taste. The building is full service and maintenance reflects it: $2,050. There’s a doorman, a live-in super, a “multipurpose room” (charming), landscaped gardens, and an elevator.

This one’s pretty. It’s an HDFC so bear that in mind, but if you’re eligible I’d try for this two-bedroom, 1.5-bath co-op on East 12th. The built-ins and the archways in the loftlike main living space are so appealing, and the windows face south. The kitchen is small but updated. There are two bedrooms, both on the smaller side and interior facing, but one of them has charming wood moulding and the other has a little arched built-in. There’s a bonus office or study, and the aforementioned 1.5 baths — both of which have been given a refresh. The building is beyond no frills — it’s a walkup — but there’s laundry in the basement and maintenance is manageable at $1,490. Also, the income restrictions here are sort of generous — the max take home for one person is $187,110 annually.
