Washington Heights

A spacious one-bedroom in a Washington Heights co-op building is going for $439,900. Though it’s lacking in closet space, the apartment has two large rooms—the bedroom could fit a king-size bed—and what the listing bills as an eat-in kitchen. Maintenance is just $510/month, and the apartment is a block from the C train at 168th Street.

The more than 700-square-foot pad has a good amount of space in both the bedroom and living room, and a kitchen with plenty of cabinets and new appliances. It’s just one block from the 7 train and the shops along Queens Boulevard.
