At about 350 square feet, this week's Small Wonder is certainly small—what else would you expect in Greenwich Village? But what we liked about this $2,350 studio (aside from its location on West Eighth between MacDougal and Sixth), are the charming details, like the decorative fireplace, the wide-planked wood floor and the pretty windows that offer garden views. (The apartment faces the back, so it's also probably pretty quiet.)

This week we're traveling out to Queens for a  $249,000  co-op with high-end finishes and room to spare. In fact, looking at the photos, we're dying to put up a wall (with French doors perhaps?) and make this place into a one-bedroom -- for a little extra privacy.

If you can get past the clutter in these photos, there's quite a bit to work with in this $2,500 two-bedroom in Fort Greene.  It looks like the current renters managed to squeeze in a dining space, extra kitchen area, office space and living room into the main room. With a bit more organization, you could probably pull it off, too, and make it look a whole lot tidier.
