To look at the Upper East Side, the Upper West Side, and certain downtown neighborhoods, the stately prewar architecture can appear unattainable. Median New York listing prices of $1.9 million for condos and $925K for co-ops (per CityRealty listings) would appear to reinforce that impression. However, a closer look shows that there are bargains to be found in the unlikeliest places. The following listings come in under $1 million and well under the neighborhood median price of similar units.
