Neighborhood Upper West Side

This 1-bedroom is located in a classic brownstone, but it’s a far cry from your typical Upper West Side floor-through apartment. With a three-level layout, lots of closet space and a private entrance, it feels more like a single-family home than a co-op. Listed by Rachel Glazer of Brown Harris Stevens.

Rounding out our Top 10 list, here’s another downtown co-op with condo rules and loft-like vibes.
