Space 1 bed, 1 bath
Neighborhood Inwood
Borough Manhattan

Feeling good in Inwood! Our first NYC apartment for $450K (actually less!) is this bright 1-bedroom. It spans an impressive 850 square feet and lives even larger. The open kitchen sports a dishwasher and massive breakfast bar. Corners in the kitchen and bedroom mean double exposures and more light. The inviting ambiance is enhanced by a sunken living room, herringbone hardwoods, and recessed lights. Susanna Saarinen at Access Property Group is the listing agent.

Neighborhood Yorkville
Borough Manhattan

Our next stop is Yorkville. This Upper East Side neighborhood is a great place for renters to become buyers. Here’s a cute NYC apartment for $450K that makes the case. It’s located in a prewar co-op on a tree-lined street right off Third Avenue. Inside, the large bedroom overlooks leafy treetops. And the open kitchen has a breakfast bar and dishwasher! Monthlies under $750 keep costs down. Reach out to a StreetEasy Expert on the listing for details. (StreetEasy Experts are agents with proven experience in a particular building or area.)

Neighborhood Sunset Park

Sunset Park is a gem. So is this cute 1-bedroom that directly overlooks the park. It retains plenty of original prewar detail but gets a boost from a smart renovation. French doors separate the living room and bedroom. The new kitchen sports a farmhouse sink and dishwasher, plus banquette seating. It’s set in Sun Garden Homes, a co-op complex with a courtyard and a vegetable garden. Tom Borrero, Paul Hyun and Scott Klein at Compass are the listing agents.

Neighborhood Wingate
Borough Brooklyn

We jump over to Wingate, a submarket of East Flatbush, for our next NYC apartment for $450K. This head-turner is part of a new boutique condo development. It’s a minimalistic delight that rocks a balcony and blond hardwoods. And it’s also tricked out with comforting amenities, like a dishwasher and central air. Enticements include low monthlies, especially with the developer paying the first year of taxes! Reach out to a StreetEasy Expert on the listing for more info.
