"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. It's all two-bedrooms this week - and two of them are two-baths. (So many twos.) We had really gone too long looking at studios and oversize one-bedrooms, and thankfully the market provided."
"The kitchen is described in the listing as Judd-esque, and it's true that the recent renovation is appropriately minimalist and clad in plywood. (Also comes with a dishwasher.) There's obvious care in some of these design choices: the aforementioned kitchen, the use of soft neutrals in the north-facing living room. The bedrooms are small but not unworkable (although one is missing a closet) and have north and western exposures."
The sub-$1 million market includes many housing types across neighborhoods, with notable two-bedroom options highlighted. An East Village two-bedroom co-op features a minimalist, plywood-clad Judd-esque kitchen, a dishwasher, soft-neutral north-facing living room, and small but usable bedrooms with north and western exposures; one bedroom lacks a closet. The unit previously sold for $775,000 in 2024 and lists monthly maintenance of $1,496. The building provides practical amenities such as laundry on every floor, a bike room, video intercom, and a live-in super. A Park Slope two-bedroom in a limestone building near Prospect Park shows potential despite bland staging and no elevator.
