From Greenwood Cemetery’s beautifully eerie backdrop, to decked-out Upper East Side stoops and the Village Halloween Parade: New York has plenty of spectacular neighborhoods to revel in spooky-season spirit. And the best part is that you don’t need a multimillion-dollar budget to live near the fun. These five homes, all under $1 million, put you in some of the city’s most Halloween-ready neighborhoods, with treats of their own — from private backyards to cozy fireplaces to autumn sunlit studios.

Home to the legendary Village Halloween Parade, there’s no place like Greenwich Village for true Halloween buffs. Set in the elevator-equipped Mark Twain co-op, this sun-filled studio is a chic downtown retreat close to hotspots like Washington Square Park and Union Square. The apartment boasts six windows, polished wood floors, and a cozy sleeping alcove. The kitchen has been beautifully renovated with top-tier stainless steel appliances and matching cabinetry, while the windowed bathroom is outfitted with Italian marble tile, a floating vanity, and a smart bidet toilet.

Greenwich Village does Halloween so well that we had to feature it twice. Also on the fifth floor of the Mark Twain co-op is this alcove studio with a spacious foyer, south and west exposures, built-in bookshelves, and windows in every room. A frosted sliding door gives the sleeping alcove a sense of privacy, and three large closets help complete the storage space.

This Upper East Side 1-bedroom is so polished, even a ghost might feel a bit out of place here. Its prewar charm is on full display, showcasing beamed ceilings, original hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and custom built-ins. The windowed kitchen has custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a brand-new Miele fridge, while the renovated and windowed bathroom gives the space a modern touch. The primary bedroom can comfortably fit a king-sized bed and offers lots of closet space, perfect for any skeletons you’d rather keep hidden. Another plus: Central Park is just a block away.

Neighborhood Greenwood
Borough Brooklyn

In Greenwood, Brooklyn, this 2-bedroom duplex has a few tricks up its sleeve — but our favorite is the 400-square-foot private backyard that’s more treat than trick. Spanning two floors, you get a sunlit lower level that can host a gym, home office, media room, or anything else you desire. Upstairs, the open living and dining area is complemented by warm wood floors and huge windows. With an in-unit washer/dryer, a large skylight, and a 25-year tax abatement, the only thing here that will haunt you is missing out on this deal.

The oversized windows, charming French doors, and wide-plank floors in this 2-bedroom abode in Battery Park City are an everyday treat. We’re loving the views in the primary bedroom, framed by a massive wall of windows. The second bedroom is great for a home office or guest room, and the apartment also includes a full bathroom, half-bath, and walk-in closet. The Battery Park Esplanade is just a block away, while the World Trade Center is just two blocks away.
