This Upper West Side studio gets great light via two large windows with south-facing exposures, and is located on one of the most charming blocks in the neighborhood. It has a decorative fireplace, track lighting, and a pullman kitchen, as well as space for a small office area. There’s also a laundry room in the building.

For those dreaming of living in SoHo (and that applies to many New Yorkers), here’s a relatively affordable option in the neighborhood. This 1-bedroom has a well-sized living room with two sizable windows, a bedroom with a nook that could be used as an office area, and a kitchen with room for a dining setup.

Back on the Upper West Side, this time in Lincoln Square, we have this 1-bedroom with a bright living room, a kitchen with a dishwasher and glass cabinets, and room for a dining set. The kitchen and bathroom have both been renovated, and the apartment also has great closet space for your SoHo shopping hauls.

This incredible Prospect Heights 1-bedroom has so many lovely details. Starting with the living area, it features a decorative fireplace with custom wall cabinets and shelves throughout the room, as well as sleek moldings and a spectacular chandelier. Parquet flooring runs underneath, and the dining area is surrounded by a library’s worth of bookshelves. The large bedroom has two big windows plus a double closet and a dresser. Last but not least, a private and grassy backyard is yours.

If you’d rather be in Queens, this Astoria studio is a great option. Three big windows with decorative ironwork give the apartment great light and character, as do the crown moldings and decorative border inlay on the hardwood floors. The kitchen sits in a small niche, featuring subway tile, a gas range, and adorable seafoam green cabinets. A built-in platform with a ladder gives way to a raised sleeping loft, which has open space underneath.
