One could be forgiven for thinking it's getting more and more difficult, if not impossible, to find a reasonably priced, family-sized home in New York. According to CityRealty data, the median price of a Manhattan two-bedroom is $2.495 million. Moreover, Curbed reported on a study showing that sales in Manhattan have dropped in the past five years, and the trend is especially pronounced in areas that used to attract professionals hoping to raise a family. Two-bedrooms under $1 million have dropped by more than 50% in the last seven years. The news is disheartening, but here's a glimmer of hope – these beautifully designed Manhattan two-bedrooms are all under $1 million.
