↑A duplex studio on the Upper West Side is going for $399,000. The open-concept layout gives way to a small corner kitchen, a modest living room, and room for a dining area on the upper level while the lower floor accommodates space for a bed or home office and includes a walk-in closet. Monthly maintenance goes for $1,097. [Floorplan]

↑In Rego Park, a mere $388,000 can get you this 589-square-foot alcove studio. The layout is fairly simple with a decent-sized living room that receives lots of natural light, a modern kitchen, and a small nook just outside of the kitchen. The nearest subway station—the M and R train’s 67 Avenue station—is a bit of a trek (nearly a 10-minute walk away). [Floorplan]

There are two closets for storage and monthly maintenance is just $357. Asking price is $385,000. [Floorplan]

↑A 1,200-square-foot co-op in Riverdale, offering two bedrooms and two bathrooms is asking $379,000. Among its flourishes are a windowed kitchen with a breakfast bar, original hardwood floors, an en-suite master bedroom with a walk-in closet, and a private terrace. There are at least four closets throughout and the ability to add a washer/dryer machine. [Floorplan]

↑ This Prospect Heights studio is part of a six-story co-op building, and it’s currently on the market for $399,000.
