↑In Crown Heights, a three-bedroom co-op is going for $400,000. The highlights within the apartment include a modest-sized living room, a windowed kitchen with a washer/dryer, and plenty of natural light throughout. The unit is an HDFC co-op, so there are some income restrictions in place, along with a rule that the buyer must live in the apartment as their primary residence. [Floorplan]

↑This Upper West Side studio is tiny, but one major perk is that it’s located along Central Park West, so the park is within close proximity. The co-op, asking $389,000, resides within an Emery Roth-designed building and is flourished with nine-foot-high beamed ceilings, a Murphy bed, and built-in storage space. The kitchen is a bit dated but offers all of the essentials and there are two closets for storage. [Floorplan]
