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, we\u2019ve got a spacious two-bedroom on the Upper West Side at a bargain price and the largest one-bedroom in a Far West Village co-op building.<\/p>\n

70 Remsen St., Apt. 2C<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n This one-bedroom\u2019s living area, as seen in this listing photo, has some charm thanks to the beamed ceilings and robin\u2019s-egg paint job.

This study in maximizing usable space in the Remsen, a 1928 hotel turned co-op with a striking Romanesque fa\u00e7ade that\u2019s all gargoyles and marble archways. The apartment\u2019s 14-foot-long foyer can double as an office with the floor-to-ceiling built-ins. Past that is a living room with beamed ceilings, casement windows, and leafy street views. The kitchen\u2019s ample counter space will make NYT Cooking subscribers swoon, and the bedroom is large enough for both a king-size bed and a reading nook. It\u2019s an en-suite bath situation with a tub (and what looks like hardwood flooring within, a dodgy choice). The monthlies are steep \u2014\u00a0$2,046 \u2014\u00a0but they do cover a full-time doorman and concierge, a shared garden, in-building laundry, and a bike room. And you\u2019re right in the heart of Brooklyn Heights, which means access to L\u2019Appartement 4F\u2019s flakiest croissants for breakfast and the various Borough Hall station lines for your commute.<\/p>\n

323 W. 83rd St., Apt. 6B<\/a><\/p>\n

\n This Upper West Side two-bedroom, as seen in a listing photo, has enough space for a dining and living area, plus high ceilings.

How is a top-floor 950-square-foot two-bedroom co-op that\u2019s less than a block from Riverside Park and below 96th Street in this price class? The ceilings are high (over nine and a half feet), the layout is spacious (the couch and dining table have plenty of room to breathe, and you can fit a king bed), and the views are decent. The primary bedroom has built-ins and a walk-in closet; the second bedroom is smaller but could easily get you through at least kindergarten. The kitchen and bathroom are decently renovated, if monochromatic and unexciting. The virtual staging gives the listing photos an unusually nice glow, but as far as we can see, there are no major tricks, like an expiring tax abatement. The monthlies are $1,857 and get you in-building laundry, a live-in super, storage space, and access to the communal roof deck one flight up. There\u2019s an AMC less than two blocks away, and if you want to step up to\u00a0Lincoln Center\u2019s renowned 70-mm. Imax screen, the 1 train is close.<\/p>\n

61 Horatio St., Apt. 5C<\/a><\/p>\n

\n The massive living area of this West Village one-bedroom, as seen in a listing photo, is the real centerpiece of this apartment.

It\u2019s on the top floor (with an elevator) and said to be the largest one-bedroom in the building with a 17-foot-by-21.5-foot living area \u2014 enough space for a home office, a modest dining table, and a proper living-room setup without a real squeeze. The trade-off is the tiny pass-through kitchen with what looks like a one-person maximum capacity and a bedroom that doesn\u2019t look like it can hold more than a dresser and a queen-size bed. The skylight adds some character to the mostly white bathroom. The maintenance fees are $1,828 a month, and they don\u2019t get you much beyond the live-in super and shared laundry. The sell here is really the West Side location (\u201ctier one,\u201d per the listing) near the High Line and the Whitney. The Pastis cheeseburger around the corner may take the edge off the limitations on your ability to cook.<\/p>\n

\n This West Village one-bedroom duplex, as seen in this listing photo, is long but narrow and good for someone without too much clutter.

Another West Village one-bedroom, yes, but this one\u2019s a very different animal. It\u2019s a duplex with a double-height window that brings pretty decent light into the living area upstairs, which is 21-feet deep. The renovated kitchen has been updated with stainless-steel appliances and nice quartzite countertops, although the cabinet space is tight. (The photos leave the sink situation a little unclear.) Downstairs is the bedroom with whitewashed exposed brick and a custom closet, although this is another dresser-only situation. There\u2019s a bathroom on each floor, so you don\u2019t have to run up and down the stairs every time you gotta go. This is probably a good pied-\u00e0-terre crash pad or an apartment for someone who doesn\u2019t like clutter. It\u2019s $1,370 for the monthlies \u2014 live-in super and communal laundry \u2014 and you\u2019re spoiled for choice with nearby pizzerias (Joe\u2019s, John\u2019s, and L\u2019Industrie, to name a few).<\/p>\n
