Not Just Another Brick in the Wall: NYC Apartments with Exposed Brick Under $1 Million

Try as some contemporary designers might, there are some elements of Old World architecture that simply cannot be replicated in the modern age. Chief among these is exposed brick walls seen in prewar apartments throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn. While it comes with its own set of decorating challenges, the mere presence of brick is enough for some buyers.

According to CityRealty listings, the 265 apartments and townhouses touting their brick accents come in at a median asking price of $1,182,500. This feature's popularity has reached an extent that brick-patterned wallpaper is available for purchase, but we've found the real thing at affordable prices.
