Brooklyn Homes For Sale Small Apartments

Sure, palatial homes have their perks, but here in Brooklyn there’s at least one clear upside to downsizing: the price tag. The smaller the square footage, the smaller the fee (well, usually). But it’s all relative.

Plus, there’s something liberating about paring down to the essentials. Do any of these five fabulously wee units have you dreaming of big living in a small space?

The smallest home on today’s list, this Williamsburg studio is a mere 490 square feet. But who needs space when you’re just going to spend your days in nearby hipster hangouts? The unit’s got great views of the East River and northern bit of the nabe — is that the William Vale Hotel we spy rising in the right-most window?

A full 124 square feet larger (and $330,000 cheaper) than our first pick, this Prospect Heights co-op is in a great location — just a block from Grand Army Plaza and in the midst of some excellent eateries. The light doesn’t look that great, but the kitchen’s been recently renovated. And you can always soak up the sun in nearby Prospect Park.

Delish. This yummy 616-square-foot studio was built in a former cheesecake factory and looks to have a fab kitchen of its own. With 10.5-foot ceilings and generously sized windows, who cares if there’s no separate bedroom? Added bonus: There’s a Murphy bed in the unit.

With a nice layout, including a separate kitchen, this Windsor Terrace unit also comes with a washing machine. The building was completed in 2007, and has an elevator. It’s also a condo. So if you are buying for a parent or child or want to rent out the unit, you can.

What’s this? Another itsy-bitsy studio in Wiliamsburg? Definitely not with a wee price tag, though. This 605 square-foot unit will cost you a whopping $899,000. But with such a killer view of the Williamsburg Bridge and lower Manhattan, your guests just might not notice the lack of space.
