Searching for a 1-bedroom with ample space, light, and conveniences — without a seven-figure price tag? You may not think to look in Carroll Gardens due to its higher-than-average asking prices. But there are some great units in the neighborhood at even greater prices, like 3 4th Place #6. Our Deal of the Week is a Carroll Gardens 1-bedroom co-op complete with a dishwasher, lots of windows, and a convenient location in Brooklyn.

As far as perks go, free rent is a great one. In some buildings — often new developments — a lease will extend past a year and offer one or more months free, which brings the amortized rent down considerably. It’s an exciting thing to find! (Just keep in mind that the lower amortized rent is only for the duration of the lease, and if you renew, your rent will likely increase to market rate.) That said, we’ve found some fantastic listings offering free months of rent.

Prices on the Upper West Side are only slightly lower compared to their counterpart to the east, but still sit above median asking prices for Manhattan as a whole. But that doesn’t mean you have to venture into seven-figure territory to buy on the UWS — just take a look at 320 W. 84th St. #6B. Our Deal of the Week is a studio located just feet from Riverside Park and outfitted with Murphy beds, large windows, and a renovated bathroom and kitchen.
