Steals of the Week: Our Top 5 NYC Homes Under $1 Million

The arched doorways are the first thing we noticed at Avenue H. Look a little longer and the appeal becomes practical: a dining table has its own spot, while a desk sits beneath the shelves off the entry. In a one-bedroom, that gives work and dinner separate places to land. The shelving continues into the bedroom, making storage part of the room rather than an afterthought. At $329,000, this is the lowest asking price in our five-home selection.

Listed co-op maintenance: $1,011/month. The listing states cats only, no dogs. The garden is shared. Interior area is not listed; the supplied floor plan is omitted because its unit label differs from the listing.

Gold Street starts with a dining spot beside the living room, separated by an open, easy-to-follow arrangement. In the kitchen, wood cabinets and a gold-tone faucet warm up the dark, veined counters. The close-up is worth a look: those small choices give the room much of its character. A walk-in closet adds somewhere to put things away, and the private balcony offers a place to sit outside. Together, they make a useful set of extras in a one-bedroom.

Listed co-op maintenance: $950/month; the broker says it includes electricity, heat, gas, water and real estate taxes. Broker-owner disclosure. Subletting requires co-op approval; storage costs extra. Interior area is not listed.

Clinton Street is the home we would save for its details. Custom cabinetry runs through the kitchen and living area and reappears around the bed, giving the rooms a consistent feel while finding places for everyday storage. The marble backsplash adds pattern, and the built-in dining banquette puts the nook to work without a row of chairs around it. The listing also includes an in-unit washer and dryer. This remains a one-bedroom: the concealed bed in the living room is a guest-sleeping option, not another bedroom.

Some listing images are virtually staged. Listed co-op maintenance: $801/month. Interior area is not listed. Listed September 21, this home is an editor-selected inclusion in this week’s picks.

The green kitchen is what first drew us to this Woodside co-op. Wood counters and a double-basin sink give the room its character, with space for a small table at the end. The layout is the reason to keep looking: three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a separate office/library mean working from home need not take over a bedroom. The plan places that room off the living and dining area. In-unit laundry, a dishwasher and a wine fridge add useful everyday conveniences.

Listed co-op maintenance: $2,563/month. Subletting is permitted after two years of ownership, with board approval. The office/library is one room, not a fourth bedroom. Interior area is not listed.

Catalpa closes the selection with a straightforward practical advantage: two bedrooms and two full bathrooms in a listed 923 square feet. Light wood floors connect the rooms, while the kitchen keeps the finishes simple around a stainless steel range. The dining nook gives meals a place beside the kitchen, and a glass enclosure keeps the shower visually open. If a second bathroom is on your wish list, that is the detail to weigh here alongside the finishes and layout.

Listed monthly common charges: $371, plus $338 in property taxes ($709 combined). The October 2 Admin record shows the condo as available; confirm current availability with the listing representative.
