Part of living in New York City is thinking about moving out of New York City. Each month, we’ll round up the best listings within commuting-ish distance, places where entire houses go for the cost of a “junior one-bedroom” (or less), but you’ll have to fix your own toilet.

This month, we have a wide range — everything from a tiny home for under $200,000 to a multibuilding compound with a “party barn” for $4.25 million.

$199,000: One-bedroom, one-bath

The space around this tiny home as shown in this listing photo is built up, with a wraparound deck and sitting areas.

This house is small, but it’s got a lot going on — there’s an aboveground pool with a wraparound deck, a hot tub, a firepit, and a creek. The living area itself is a squeeze but has everything you might need — and 500 square feet is about the size of most New York City studios that are going for three times the price. Price is on par for nearby small, prefab spots, but this has amenities and character we’re not seeing at any of those. Plant a garden and become a recluse.

How do I get back to the city?

It’s around a two-and-a-half-hour drive.

So what do I do if I live there?

Go tubing in the Delaware River.

$1,950,000: Six-bedroom, five-bath

The house has a simple white exterior as featured in this listing photo and was designed by architect Henry Varnum Poor.

Designed by artist Henry Varnum Poor, the simple white exterior complements the house’s uniquely thought-out interiors. We love the huge tinder beams running across the ceilings, the curved fireplaces, and the colorful tile details. The curved-glass windows make the space feel airy, and they open straight onto a huge stone patio. Similarly priced houses nearby are new-build, cookie-cutter monstrosities.

How do I get back to the city?

It’s just over an hour drive.

So what do I do if I live there?

Go hiking at Harriman State Park.

$2,900,000: Five-bedroom, five-bath

A huge mansion designed by Frederick Clarke Withers with beautiful wood-carved fireplaces and Tiffany-style stained-glass windows. There’s a pool and a bluestone veranda that overlooks the Hudson River. It was built for one of the founders of the New York Times and could now be for you, a different rich person. The price you’ll pay for living in this $3 million mansion is that you might get egged.

How do I get back to the city?

It’s less than a two-hour drive.

So what do I do if I live there?

Grab a beer at the Newburgh Brewing Company.

$4,250,000: Seven-bedroom, four-bath

This listing is actually two separate houses, a guest studio, an office studio, a “party barn,” and a two-story equestrian facility. The primary house is a gorgeous stone cottage fit for an actual witch, and the second is a modern open-concept space fit for someone who has “witch” in their Instagram bio. The plot is 375 acres that include a gunite pool and a lake. Likely too expensive for anyone with a soul — and high for the area in general — but it’s multiple homes, and it’s already dropped by $1 million. Maybe you’re part of a 15-person commune looking for a place to call your own?

How do I get back to the city?

It’s about a two-hour drive.

So what do I do if I live there?

Teach horseback-riding lessons to the children of your commune.
