A one-bedroom, one-bath, 650-square-foot prewar apartment with a combined living and dining room that has a beamed ceiling and a decorative fireplace, a windowed galley kitchen, a windowed bathroom, and casement windows, in an elevator building with a part-time superintendent, a doorman and a roof deck.

Pros
This apartment, a pleasant stroll from Grand Central Terminal, can be used as a pied-à-terre.
Cons
The proportions of the rooms can seem off: The foyer is ample, but the kitchen is cramped. Some might find the lack of a dishwasher to be a turnoff.
Manhattan high | 64 West 15th Street, No. 6E
Flatiron District Co-op
$2.25 million
A one-bedroom, one-bath, 1,400-square-foot prewar apartment with a living room that has a fireplace and window seats, a small dining area, a windowed open kitchen with a breakfast bar and two sinks, a bedroom with built-in bookshelves, a washer and dryer, and painted wood floors, on the top floor of a six-story non-doorman elevator building. Gabriella Winter, Corcoran Group, 917-952-7466; corcoran.com
Costs
Maintenance: $1,798 a month
Special assessment: $559 a month through August 2023
Pros
Stylish, cozy and lined with storage areas, the apartment also feels one-of-a-kind, courtesy of a quirky layout.
Cons
One of the rooms that has a bed is not a legal bedroom, since it lacks outside windows. But interior clerestory-style windows do allow some natural light.
