For couples and singles still in the rental market but not looking to share, these generous one-bedrooms will fit the bill. Our five picks offer a mix of prewar details and modern amenities, including outdoor space and fireplaces, prime for renters who are not yet ready to buy but are willing to pay for more room.

The units range widely in price, with the most expensive apartment going for $4,500 a month and the most affordable asking about half of that, $2,200 a month.

The apartments span the borough, and are located in Prospect Heights, Williamsburg, Clinton Hill, Bed Stuy and Crown Heights.

Which one would you choose?

First up, a 1,000-square-foot, five-room Williamsburg railroad flat located half a block from the Bedford Avenue L stop. The sprawling one-bedroom on the ground floor offers an in-unit washer/dryer, dishwasher and a private garden with a deck. As the apartment is for rent by the owner, there is no broker’s fee.
