; Picture: Compass For under a million dollars, one can find all sorts of housing configurations: park- and subway-adjacent studios, one-bedrooms hidden in carriage houses or previous shoe factories, and even the occasional real two-bedroom. We’re combing the market for especially large, perfectly remodelled, or otherwise worth-a-look apartment or condos at different six-digit price points.

A windowed cooking area with stainless-steel appliances and sleek white cabinets is on your right upon entering; to your left, a compact living-dining room with well preserved prewar information. The bedrooms are a little bit of a Frankenstein job, but the bigger of the two has lovely built-ins and space to breathe. The second bedroom is definitely more child-size but still appealing with painted brick and a large window. The building is pet friendly, and the monthlies are $1,047, covering stroller parking, video security, and in-building laundry. (Personal storage costs an additional $35 a month.) Truly, however, the area in the heart of Possibility Heights is the main selling point: You’re just a five-minute walk from Radio Bakeshop for weekend cardamom buns and simply a nine-minute walk to go to the Brooklyn Museum and Brooklyn Botanic Garden when family and friends are in town.
185 Clinton Ave., Apt. 4H
This two-bed in the Clinton Hills Coops North Campus, as seen in this listing picture, has a strong layout with a well-sized living location
. Photo: Compass Another Brooklyn two-bed, this time in the Clinton Hill Co-ops North School.

There are dual exposures in the second bed room, though the clear move here sizewise is nursery or office. The restroom has actually been refurbished, and the windowed kitchen comes with contemporary devices (a pocket door, too, for when you require to julienne your carrots in private). The monthlies are $1,256, which gets you a lot: 24-hour security, an on-site upkeep group, in-building laundry, bike storage, a bundle room, and a shared yard. Pied-à-terres, co-purchasing, moms and dads buying for children, guarantors, and gifting are all kosher, as is subletting after 2 years of ownership. Run to a G (the closest station is two blocks away) and get to a seeing now.
