Considering CityRealty listings show that the median price of a three-bedroom home in Manhattan is $4.6 million for condos and $2.85 million for co-ops, it's no wonder most families decamp for the suburbs as they start getting bigger. However, that may not be the only course of action. The following three-bedroom co-ops are located in some of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods, and are not priced any higher than $1.25 million.
