If you’re looking to buy an apartment in Manhattan you’re likely experiencing some sticker shock. Covid deals are long gone and prices have rebounded to 2019 levels. But there is one type of apartment where prices have not rocketed as much: Studios—which are not seeing the same demand as larger apartments because many buyers want more space to work from home.

To make living in a small space more tolerable, look for studio apartments with sleeping alcoves, lofts, foyers, built-in Murphy beds, dressing areas, and separate kitchens. And if you have lots of stuff to store, keep an eye out for studios with a walk-in closet or basement storage space. 

You can also ask about the building’s rules on installing temporary pressurized walls to make a separate sleeping space if the apartment has an alcove or L-shape. There are also ways to organize your apartment and multi-functional furniture to maximize space. 

To help with your apartment search, here are five studios for sale in Lincoln Square, Murray Hill, Gramercy Park, Turtle Bay, and Hell’s Kitchen.
