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 Clinton Hill one-bedroom with oak herringbone floors and a Carrara marble kitchen and Jackson Heights two-bedroom with its own private elevator entry.

The Clinton Hill co-ops, several clusters of Second World War–era brick towers, have for decades been a relatively affordable, if not particularly glamorous, option in an increasingly pricey area. But this renovated one-bedroom with oak herringbone floors, antique doors, and Carrera marble countertops, is a sign that apartments in the complex are going the way of the rest of the neighborhood — upscale. It’s large, about 800 square feet, and full of high-end fixtures and finishes that include Urban Archaeology Brass cargo lights, a SubZero fridge, and a Viking stove. The $895,000 asking price is higher than other recent one-bedroom sales in the building, but those didn’t have such high-level renovations, and a two-bedroom asking $1.2 million recently went into contract after less than a month on the market. This co-op also has great views and a dining area that could be closed off as a sleeping area or an office — though that might cramp the apartment’s sophisticated style. Maintenance is $1,221 a month and the building is pet-friendly and close to Fort Greene Park and the neighborhood’s bustling restaurant scene.

This two-bedroom, one-bath apartment is on the top floor of a 1958 co-op, with views of the East River and Long Island City. The apartment has been recently renovated, and the kitchen especially stands out — there are custom cabinets with maple wood interiors that extend into the dining area, quartz countertops, an integrated Liebherr counter-depth refrigerator, and a Bosch dishwasher. The nearly 900-square-foot co-op has wood floors, five closets, and custom shades on the windows. Altogether, it’s pretty nice for the price. The co-op has a common playground, landscaped grounds and on-site parking (there’s a lottery, though), with a maintenance of $1,180 a month. Located close to the water, the Noguchi Museum, Socrates Sculpture Park and Costco, but a 15-minute walk from the W and N trains.

This type of sprawling, prewar two-bedroom, two-bath co-op is one of the reasons that Jackson Heights continues to draw so many buyers from Manhattan and Brooklyn. A corner unit on a high floor, this apartment has a private elevator entry that opens directly into the foyer like a swank penthouse on the Upper East Side. Both bedrooms are really large, there’s a gas-burning fireplace in the living room (also really large), a dining room, windows in every room including both bathrooms, and historic details like picture moldings, hardwood floors with walnut inlays, and original bathroom tile. The apartment also has nice, newer touches, too: custom built-in bookshelves and in the kitchen, wood cabinetry with porcelain pulls, a Bosch dishwasher and Delonghi gas range. Maintenance is a reasonable $1,145 a month and the building has a private interior garden and patio. About a seven-minute walk from the 7, F and R trains.
550 Grand Street, Apt. GGE
Located in a 1949 brick complex, this apartment, as shown in listing photos, is relatively gracious, with parquet floors, 9-foot-beamed ceilings, and a separate galley kitchen.

A rare apartment with truly ample storage, this two-bedroom, one-bath co-op has seven closets with enclosed overhead storage and a pullout pantry in the kitchen. The space has been renovated thoughtfully in other ways, with an in-unit washer and dryer and a kitchen befitting someone who likes to cook: There’s a six-burner stove, a 36-inch stainless-steel sink, and a wine refrigerator. Located in a 1949 brick complex, the apartment has parquet floors, nine-foot-beamed ceilings, urban views of nearby buildings from the living room and kitchen, and leafy views from the bedrooms. The complex also has a fitness center, playroom, bike storage, and private parks and playgrounds. Located by the Williamsburg Bridge a few blocks from the East River, there’s also a Citibike station and a Trader Joe’s nearby. Two-bedrooms in the building with less recent renovations typically trade in the $700,000s.
