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\u2019re combing the market for particularly spacious, nicely renovated, or otherwise worth-a-look apartments at various six-digit price points.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This week, a two-bedroom prewar in Jackson Heights with some modern touches and a railroad worth considering in Carroll Gardens.<\/p>\n
34-42 80th St., Apt. 2<\/a><\/p>\n \n Other perks of this Jackson Heights two-bed, as shown in this listing photo, are views of the co-op\u2019s private garden and a properly large living room. Hello again, Jackson Heights. This time, we\u2019ve got\u00a0a two-bedroom, two-bath at Elm Court, a 1922 garden co-op. There\u2019s ample prewar charm (mahogany inlay and parquet hardwood floors,\u00a0a working fireplace with an impressive mantel), and the place\u00a0is pretty turnkey. The living room is properly large, with what\u2019s basically a separate dining room, and has\u00a0windows that look out onto the co-op\u2019s private garden. The two bedrooms are on opposite ends of the apartment \u2014\u00a0ideal \u2014\u00a0and the rear bedroom is set up with a walk-in closet and dual exposures with oversize casement windows. (There\u2019s a nice wall unit that doubles as a mini-office, too.) Both bathrooms have been renovated with dark herringbone porcelain tiles and a tub in the larger one; the en suite bath comes with a bidet hookup.\u00a0The monthlies are a reasonable $1,100, which covers a storage unit, a live-in super, and new shared laundry in the building. \u201cA MUST HAVE,\u201d per the listing. We, of course, agree. Downside? The 7 is a 14-minute walk away.<\/p>\n 98 Luquer St., Apt. 2R<\/a><\/p>\n \n This Carroll Gardens one-bedroom, as shown in this listing photo, has a pretty spacious living room for a railroad unit. A railroad (sorry) one-bedroom co-op in Carroll Gardens. But hear us out: The living room is generous for a railroad, and that\u2019s on top of the warm exposed-brick wall, a fireplace mantel, and a pair of enormous leaded windows. The floors are great, and the fan is understated. No windows in the kitchen, but there\u2019s a wall of closet-slash-pantry space.\u00a0The bedroom has a pair of south-facing windows with sky views. The bath comes with a glass shower and charming penny floor tiling. It\u2019s a walk-up, and the $715 monthlies get you a modest spread: a bike room and in-building laundry. It\u2019s a four-minute walk to Frankies 457 for good meatballs and less than ten minutes to the F\/G at Smith\u20139th Street.<\/p>\n 360 Clinton Ave., Apt. 1R<\/a><\/p>\n \n This Clinton Hill studio has dual courtyard views, as shown in this listing photo, and the living area seems large enough for a decent living-sleeping setup. A particularly nice Clinton Hill studio co-op with dual-exposure courtyard views. We\u2019ve had a run of good studios lately, and this one has a living area\u00a0large enough to fit what you\u2019ll need \u2014\u00a0maybe not as staged (there appears to be no bed at the moment) but a decent living-sleeping arrangement at least. Once again, there\u2019s nice separation with a well-size foyer, and three closets means you\u2019ve got a surprisingly generous amount of storage. The dual-exposure kitchen\u2019s primary-color tilework is an obvious keeper, just as we hope a future buyer leaves the bathroom\u00a0tiling as is. The monthlies are $856, which gets you a bike room, shared laundry, a live-in super, and access to the garden plots in the courtyard if you\u2019ve got some windowsill herbs to plant. The G train is right at the corner and the C a six-minute walk, and the apartment\u2019s close enough to hot spots Theodora and Sailor that you should become a regular<\/a>.<\/p>\n 145 E. 48th St., Apt. 5D<\/a><\/p>\n \n The windows are fab in this Turtle Bay one-bedroom, as shown in this listing photo, but the rest of the condo feels boilerplate pied-\u00e0-terre. A one-bedroom condo in Turtle Bay with great windows. The living room\u2019s particularly special with a circular window bank \u2014\u00a0a perfect reading spot. Otherwise, the space is pretty much boilerplate pied-\u00e0-terre: The bedroom can fit a king bed (and currently is staged like a hotel room with a sitting area arranged near the oversize window). The kitchen is a sterile-looking galley with a pass-through; the bathroom leans heavy on the marble, but the vanity is nice. It\u2019s a nine-minute walk to Grand Central, which is probably why a few businesses picked up units<\/a> for visiting executives to crash at in the mid-\u201980s. The monthlies aren\u2019t nothing \u2014 $1,991 \u2014 but they cover a 24-hour doorman, a concierge, and a live-in resident manager; a conference room; and access to a roof-deck. There\u2019s also an on-site parking garage, if that\u2019s your jam. Avra\u2019s on the first floor.<\/p>\n Sign Up for the Curbed Newsletter<\/p>\n A daily mix of stories about cities, city life, and our always evolving neighborhoods and skylines.<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/69084a868793b979a6229a07122bb1d89e-34-42-80th-Street--2-3.rhorizontal.w700.jpg\")
