2023 was a big year for New York City real estate, but there was one area of the city that caught your eye the most: Midtown East was the most-searched neighborhood of the year on StreetEasy! We’ve rounded up our five favorite homes in Midtown East that are currently on the market. The best part? They’re all under $1 million. Check out the 2023 StreetEasy Year in Review for more insights about New Yorkers’ searching, spending, and saving habits. And — as always — browse more available homes for sale here.
First up on our list of Midtown East homes for sale under $1 million is this sleek Sutton Place 1-bedroom. A large and flexible foyer space opens up to a combination living and dining room that hosts big, beautiful southern-facing windows. The galley kitchen comes complete with a dishwasher and plenty of cabinets for storage. An asking price of $575,000 looks especially appealing when considering The Brevard’s host of amenities, like a 24-hour doorman and a sweeping roof-top deck.
Monochrome has never looked so good! This renovated $975,000 residence is awash in shades of gray, from the tasteful striped wallpaper throughout to the chevron tiled floors to the sparkling granite kitchen countertops. The unit’s one bedroom is filled with light from three exposures, and the whole home benefits from a whopping seven closets — one of which you can use as a funky hidden bar, as shown in the listing photos!
What’s our favorite feature of this retro-inspired Turtle Bay 1-bedroom, you ask? Maybe it’s the charming shuttered windows and stunning stained glass art in the living room? Or the lime green Big Chill appliances that add a splash of color in the windowed kitchen? Or the custom-built Murphy bed that makes hosting guests a breeze? Come to think of it, it’s probably the fact that this home can come fully furnished for maximum convenience (not included in the $659,000 listing price).
Hardwood flooring, beamed ceilings, and refined black-rimmed windows? This 1-bedroom co-op has all that and more. We especially love the deep soaking tub in the ensuite bathroom and the building’s lavish lobby. Listed at just $490,000, this is the lowest priced home on this list. Sweet!
Last up on our list of Midtown East homes for sale under $1 million is this unit with stunning East River views. The only 2-bedroom on this list, this apartment features a gorgeous built-in bookshelf that spans the entire length of one wall and two generously-sized, wallpapered bathrooms with distinct personalities. It’s important to note that this home is admittedly at the top of our designated budget at $995,00 and it only accepts up to 50% financing. So if you have a good chunk of change saved up, this could be the Midtown East abode for you!
