Both areas have median asking prices in the millions. But don’t despair! Here are 5 popular downtown apartment deals to whet your appetite, all for less than $600K.

Our first stop in Chelsea might be the last for savvy buyers. This downtown apartment deal is set in The Thomas Eddy, a co-op with generous purchasing rules. (Not to mention a doorman, parking, and laundry on every floor!) The apartment feels bright and open, partially thanks to the bedroom area that sits behind a pony wall, up a few steps. Plus, there’s a dishwasher in the kitchen and a cute little balcony for coveted outdoor space.

We stick around prime Chelsea for our next great downtown apartment deal. This 1-bedroom is set in an elegant, historic brick building on a lovely tree-lined block. Tall ceilings, new windows, and a freshly tiled bathroom make it even more compelling. Peekaboo views of the Empire State Building don’t hurt, either! Plus, it’s all just a block away from the High Line.
