There are a lot of details to love about this West Village one-bedroom, as shown in this listing photo, like the exposed wooden beams and working wood-burning fireplace.

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 Jane Street one-bedroom with a key to a private garden and a top-floor studio in Park Slope with very good windows.
41 Jane St., Apt. 5A
This West Village one-bedroom, as shown in this listing photo, comes with a wine fridge and matcha-latte-green granite countertops, which maybe is your thing?

There are a lot of details to love about this Jane Street co-op: the living room’s wood-burning fireplace and exposed wooden beams as well as giant windows looking out onto the private Jane Street Garden (the apartment comes with a key, of course). There’s also a wine fridge, if that’s your sort of thing, and surprisingly generous closet space. The listing is very Jane Street this, Jane Street that, but we get it — it’s Jane Street. And the location couldn’t be lovelier save for, well, all of the TikTok stuff going on around you (unless that’s also your thing). Monthlies are $1,222, which is fair for the neighborhood and the price range and gets you laundry and bike rooms in the building. Pieds-à-terre are allowed, as are guarantors.

This two-bed, two-bath co-op in Turtle Bay, as shown in this listing photo, has French doors and views of Tudor City’s neo-Gothic spires and gargoyles.

A two-bedroom featuring oversize windows with views of spindly neo-Gothic spires and a French door. The windowed kitchen has been updated, and there are nice hardwood floors that you might want to extend to the carpeted king-size primary bedroom. (Or not!) Monthlies are $2,463 (ouch), but you get a bike room and in-building laundry along with a concierge, doorman, and live-in super. It’s a case-by-case situation for pieds-à-terre and pets, though I’m sure you’re very nice and they’ll approve for you. Also: Subletting is allowed for three out of five years after one year of ownership.
140 Warren St., Apt. 6C
Have you ever wondered who lives in the Cobble Hill Towers as you pass by the complex on the BQE? With this two-bed, shown in this photo, the answer could be, well, you.

A two-bed in the Cobble Hill Towers joins the Under a Million club thanks to a six-figure price cut. You know the complex even if you don’t. It’s the sprawl of red-brick buildings with wrought-iron balconies you pass on the BQE and go, I wonder who lives there. The answer, maybe, is you. The condo itself is pretty nice: a recently renovated pearly-white bathroom, a walk-in closet in each of the two humanely-size bedrooms, and an in-unit washer combo. Also, not one but two shared courtyards. The monthlies are $1,566, which includes a bike room, and Trader Joe’s and the Bergen Street F/G subway station are a roughly ten-minute walk away.
78 Eighth Ave., Apt. 6F
This Park Slope studio, as seen in this listing photo, is on the top floor of the co-op, so the oversize windows aren’t going to waste.

Everything in this Park Slope studio feels by the book — subway-tile backsplash in the kitchen, hardwood floors, built-ins in the foyer area — and it works. Also, it’s on the top floor in an elevator building, so it’s all flooded with natural light via the oversize windows. The co-op is pet-friendly, and maintenance fees, at $963 a month, get you a live-in super, a bike room, and in-building laundry. Plus you’re down the block from Grand Army Plaza and can easily pick up kale and grass-fed beef at the Saturday farmers’ market and do some general Prospect Park frolicking. It’s less than five minutes from the nearest 2/3 station.
