This week, we take aim at NYC apartments for $500K or so. Historically, this has been the city’s most competitive price point — and that’s still the case. The post-pandemic market for buyers is frothy, especially for units priced to move. Here are five listings for around $500,000 that ought to get your wheels turning. See what you think!
We kick off our tour of NYC apartments for $500K just a few blocks from Prospect Park. Set at the popular Berkley Square co-op, this 740-square-foot unit offers classic prewar grandeur. There’s a foyer entry, arched doorways, plenty of closets, and built-in bookcases. Upgrades include an open kitchen with dishwasher and stone counters. Reach out to a StreetEasy Expert on the listing for details. (StreetEasy Experts are agents with proven experience in a particular building or area.)
Our next stop is a corner 1-bedroom in a pedigreed co-op by Rosario Candela. That’s a perfect pairing in culture-vulture Lincoln Square. A foyer entry with closet greets you. Original herringbone hardwoods lend rich texture to the interior. Crown moldings and built-ins add more interest. A windowed, cherry-and-granite kitchen is neatly tucked to the side. Contact a StreetEasy Expert on the listing for more details.

We stay on West End Avenue for our next NYC apartment for $500K, another prewar co-op. This one boasts high ceilings, picture-frame moldings, and a classic subway-tile bathroom. The pet-friendly building offers laundry and bike storage. And the location is great, super-close to the subways at 96th Street and just a block from Riverside Park. For more info, reach out to a StreetEasy Expert on the listing.
Our next NYC apartment for $500K takes us across town to the Cherokee, a Lenox Hill landmark. It’s a 1-bedroom with twin balconies overlooking John Jay Park and the East River. If that’s not enough of an enticement, gas, electric, and cable are free! Intrepid shoppers with an eye for possibilities take heed: This apartment needs a remodel. But the potential is fabulous. Ignazio Leone and Grace Miglio at Saldo Properties are the seller’s agents.

Queens is our final stop. This NYC apartment for $500K is a remodeled 1-bedroom at the Astoria Lights co-op complex. The interior is warm and inviting.
