All in all, this $3,500 three-bedroom Astoria single-family house has seven rooms. (Got your attention now, don't we?) It's also got suburban-style amenities like a washer and dryer, a two-car driveway, and outdoor space.

This $512,000 Brooklyn Heights studio's got some ingenious closets and storage systems that make the space feel neat and offer plenty of room to stash your things. They even help differentiate the "bedroom" from the rest of the apartment.

Upper East Siders can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel (pun intended): The Second Avenue Subway is set to open in December 2016. At that point, the Q train will run from 63rd street to 96th Street and along Second Avenue.

This $749,000 three-bedroom, two-and-half-bath Victorian-style home in Rockland County has views of the Hudson River from every room. And it's a good choice for NYC expats who want to hold onto a bit of culture and stay close to the city—we're talking about 30 minutes on a good traffic day.

Earlier this week, a five-alarm fire ripped through a new condo under construction in Chelsea. According to StreetEasy, several of the apartments in the building were on the market this summer, ranging from a $2.875 million two-bedroom to a $6.45 million three-bedroom.

Talk about transportive: This $5.95 million loft looks to have taken inspiration from Morocco, and is a welcome respite from the cookie-cutter condo world. But even if it's not your style, per se, there are a lot of things to appreciate about this apartment aside from its Mediterranean flair.
