Every once in a while, a listing comes along in New York that is priced so low, it seems like it must be a prank. Bad news: it usually is (if Craigslist has anything to do with it), but some six-figure apartments do exist within the confines of this fine (and astronomically expensive) city. We set out looking for a selection of affordable pads after the Post ran a story about a $126,750 apartment—the buyer “got an amazing deal” because she already lived in the building—and while none of what our search turned back is quite so inexpensive, it did reinvigorate hope that you don’t have to be a bajillionaire to settle down here. Here now, ten one-bedrooms asking less than $600,000.
On the Upper West Side, $599,000 nets a spacious one-bedroom co-op. Nestled on West 75th Street between Riverside Drive and West End Avenue, the co-op has a corner bedroom with a customized walk-in closet and en suite bathroom (which just so happens to be the only bathroom in the apartment.) Monthly maintenance is $1,412.
