Pros

The primary suite has a balcony. Built-in bookshelves are a nice addition to the living room.

A one-bedroom, one-bath, 600-square-foot prewar apartment, with a combined living and dining room that has a non-working fireplace with a painted mantel, a windowed kitchen with a dishwasher, a windowed bath with a stall shower, transom windows and hardwood floors on the fourth floor of a five-story, non-doorman, elevator building with basement laundry rooms.

Maintenance

$1,162 a month

Pros

The apartment, in the back of the building, is quiet. The co-op has a live-in superintendent.

Cons

The views to the east and west are of brick walls. The bedroom, a combination of two smaller bedrooms, has two doors, though one could be closed permanently to create more wall space for furniture.


Manhattan | 444 East 52nd Street, No. 9C

A two-bedroom, two-bath, 1,150-square-foot, prewar apartment, with a living room that has a fireplace with a stone mantel, a windowed renovated kitchen with a wine refrigerator, windowed renovated baths, a primary suite, a secondary bedroom with folding doors that’s serving as a den, hardwood floors and casement windows in a doorman elevator building with a live-in superintendent, and laundry and bike rooms. Diana Devendorf Rice, Sotheby’s International Realty, 516-458-9389; sothebysrealty.com

Maintenance

$3,238 a month

Pros

The apartment has five closets.

Cons

There is no dedicated dining room, and the kitchen is too small for a table. So meals are instead taken at a table in the foyer.
