↑ Located in the Beekman section of Midtown East, this apartment is located just a short walk away from the East River waterfront. The co-op spans 600 square feet and comes with beamed ceilings, a tiled backsplash and granite counters in the kitchen, and a marble windowed bathroom. The apartment also comes with three closets, including one walk-in closet. A major drawback here however is the tiny bedroom, which can only fit a full size bed. For all of that this place is asking $495,000 [Floorplan].

↑ Located on the second floor of a five-story walk-up building in the East Village, this tiny one-bedroom features tall ceilings, exposed brick, a decorative fireplace, and solid oak floors, among other features.
