DAY ONE The buyers, who own two other apartments in the city, offered to pay full price for this unit the first day it was on the market. A Dwelling Quest broker, Scott Sperling, who represented the seller, said this is the highest price he has seen for a one-bedroom within this four-block area. It was worth the money, though, he said.

“It was a great space. It was tremendous. Everyone who came through really loved it,” Mr. Sperling said. Four huge windows face south and another faces west. “It was bright in there all the time. It had a dining area, a huge kitchen, tons of closets.”

With 20 staff members on call in the building at any time, a pool on the 42nd floor, a health club, and a concierge, there’s little reason to leave. Except one, perhaps: profit. The sellers paid less than $500,000 five years ago, Mr. Sperling said, so they wanted to cash out. They are now renting elsewhere in Manhattan.

Barbara Curtis of Dwelling Quest represented the buyers.

ROOM WITH THREE VIEWS

The investment banker who bought this quiet, 1,200-square-foot condo had “rifleshot specifications for what she wanted in an apartment,” a Prudential Douglas Elliman broker, Max Dobens, said. The requirements: a view, a small building, split bedrooms, and a lot of light.

She found what she wanted on peaceful East End Avenue. Because there are only two apartments on each floor, she has windows on three sides. “The bathroom has a window, so while you’re in the bath, you can look out and see the sunset,” Mr. Dobens said.

Sylvia Aboud of Bellmarc represented the seller.

YOUR OWN ROOF DECK Walk up a spiral staircase, enter the master bedroom, and prepare to be amazed: The window turns into a skylight, where it looks out over a private 200-squarefoot, plant-covered roof deck.

“There’s nothing disturbing the view,” a JC DeNiro broker, Gregory Leveridge, said. “It’s on a beautiful tree-lined block.”

The first floor isn’t so shabby, either. It has a foyer with a walk-in closet and wood-burning fireplace.

Because the seller lived there for more than 20 years, the apartment needs a little “freshening up,” Mr. Leveridge said. The buyer might knock down the wall of the downstairs bedroom to open up the living space. The bathroom needs a coat of paint, and the appliances might need to be replaced.

Mr. Leveridge and Jennifer Regenstreich represented the seller. Joel Shapiro of Halstead represented the buyer.

SECOND CHANCE The woman who bought this apartment had been eyeing the building for months. Last spring, she bid on another unit in the same building but lost to a higher offer. “She was naturally on my mind when this apartment became available,” a broker with Citi-Habitats, David Feldman, said.

The previous apartment received five bids and sold within a week. This time, competition was tempered by the slower summer buying season. The buyer toured the first day the apartment was listed, but took a few weeks to make a decision.

The two-bedroom, two-bath corner unit has both southern and western exposures. With about 1,100 square feet, the apartment has room for a large living room, galley kitchen, and dining alcove, along with a third “junior” bedroom that could be used as a home office. South- and west-facing windows add to its appeal.

The building is in a residential Bronx neighborhood around the corner from the Jerome Park Reservoir. Mr. Feldman represented both buyer and seller.

‘WAY OVER AVERAGE’ The seller of this 850-square-foot apartment initially contacted a City Connections broker, Avi Lasri, in order to find a rental. He wanted to upgrade, but didn’t want the costs of buying a bigger apartment. Mr. Lasri delivered, finding him a two-bedroom with a private deck in a Manhattan brownstone. Then he turned to the task of selling the bright one-bedroom condo. “It’s a very large one-bedroom. It’s about 850 square feet, which is way over average for one-bedrooms in Manhattan,” Mr. Lasri said. A photographer/graphic designer bought the property as an investment. Nadja Spencer, a real estate analyst and broker with the law offices of David Spencer, represented him.

ROOM TO GROW When a deal fell through for this 20th-floor studio in the Lincoln Towers complex, a young woman and her parents jumped at the chance to buy it. The 665-square-foot studio could easily be converted into a one-bedroom apartment, a Dwelling Quest broker, Bonnie Kirschenbaum, said. “It’s certainly a starter apartment, with room to grow in,” she said. The apartment has south-facing windows with river views. The seller was represented by Andrew Cooper of Residence Resource, which deals exclusively with Lincoln Towers properties.

OVER THE HIGH LINE Apartments in this building are selling like iced lattes on a summer day. Two JC DeNiro brokers, Christopher Mathieson and Brian Kelley, have sold four units in the last month. This was a one-bedroom unit, facing east and south, with a private balcony on the south side. “It has amazing light and really great views. The apartment looks right over the High Line Park,” Mr. Mathieson said. Messrs. Mathieson and Kelley represented both buyer and seller.

HOME AGAIN Jacky Teplitzky, the Prudential Douglas Elliman broker who represented the seller, could easily list this building’s merits – after all, she used to live here. But she’s focused on the apartment’s bathroom instead. “The bathroom was done in a very nice decor, which you would almost consider timeless. In 10 years, it will still be considered modern,” she said. “It was huge, an absolutely huge bathroom.” The buyer liked the apartment’s 20-foot terrace and the dining nook, which could be turned into a second bedroom, a Corcoran broker, Stacey Froelich, who represented the seller, said.
