Open House Agenda: Three Manhattan Co-ops under $500K to See This Weekend By Emily Nonko Who says you need to venture to the outer boroughs to snag an affordable apartment? These three Manhattan co-ops are all priced under $500,000.

“You've got a sunken living room, built-in bookshelves, arched entrances and original details intact,” said Stribling broker Joy Bergmann. She also noted that the building lobby has two beautiful murals original to the building. Photo credit: Stribling 57 Park Terrace West, #2G, Inwood
1 bedroom / 1 bath Co-Op Approximately 795 square feet $315,000 Maintenance: $831 Open House: Sunday, August 2, 1-2 p.m. Lowdown: This pre-War one-bedroom co-op has retained much of its historic charm. “You've got a sunken living room, built-in bookshelves, arched entrances and original details intact,” said Stribling broker Joy Bergmann. She also noted that the building lobby has two beautiful murals original to the building. With its "dignified layout," Bergmann said, "you're not cramped or cornered in." There is a separate master bedroom and a living room, as well as a kitchen (with dishwasher) that opens into a dining room. The large foyer, which has three closets, could easily double as a home office, according to Bergmann.
“The spaciousness of the unit is coupled with the quiet, green atmosphere of the neighborhood,” said Bergmann. Location: This co-op building is less than a 5-minute walk to the sprawling Inwood Hill Park. There are also cafes and businesses two blocks away on Broadway. Although the subway trip into Lower Manhattan isn't a quick commute, you're a few blocks from the 215th Street 1 train and about a seven-minute walk through Isham Park to the Inwood/207th Street Express A train. Why put it on your open house calendar? “Space,” Bergmann stated. “More space.” For a lower price point, she said, you're getting four real rooms, all of which are large. She also called Inwood a “gentler, quieter and greener place to live in Manhattan.”
