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 a Chelsea one-bedroom with a library ladder and a spacious three-bedroom in a 1917 Forest Hills co-op.

So many apartments are unusual in a bad way, but this one-bedroom in northern Chelsea is dramatic and functional. It’s on two levels, with the entrance, kitchen, and a little dining area on a mezzanine level and, a half floor below, a big, bright living room with a wall of bookshelves (and a library ladder to reach the top of them), a little built-in bed for guests that slides back into the mezzanine, and a bedroom with leafy views. Located on Lamartine Place, a tiny historic district of mid-19th-century rowhouses.

The highlight of this apartment is the spacious living room with three big windows that look out onto a row of trees. The apartment has ten-foot-high ceilings, a kitchen with bar seating and enough space for a dining area, and two bedrooms that, while on the smaller side, are perfectly workable (each has a closet as well, which helps). There’s only one bathroom (probably the reason for its more palatable price point), but hey, it has a jacuzzi tub. The apartment is less than two blocks from Riverside Park (and just a little farther to Central Park) and in an elevator building.

The theme of the day is space, and this gracious one-bedroom with four exposures has a lot of it: approximately 900 square feet, according to the listing. The apartment has an enormous living room with plenty of room for a home-office setup, in addition to a separate dining area, a galley kitchen, and a big foyer. There are five closets and a storage space downstairs that comes with the apartment. The co-op also has a shared backyard, an elevator, a laundry room, bike storage, and a reasonable monthly maintenance of $1,041.

Yes, it’s a bit far, but this apartment is served by two subway lines (as well as the LIRR) and it has three bedrooms — three! — for under a million. This renovated corner unit on the second floor is proof you don’t have to move to the suburbs to get a true, affordable three-bedroom; it has about 1,350 square feet, with a foyer, formal dining room, and big living room. All rooms are windowed and there are hardwood floors and views of the tree-lined street. A few caveats: The apartment does not have in-unit laundry and there’s only one bathroom — features many three-bedroom buyers are looking for. In a 1917 elevator co-op with a resident-only permit parking system.
