The majority of our most popular listings this week were homes for less than $2 million. House hunters were drawn to a range of styles and locations at that price point, from a modest 20th century brick house in Brownsville to a 19th century frame house in Crown Heights with an 88-foot long garden.

Most of the listings were homes, but there were co-ops and condos sprinkled in as well. While the prices started at $549,000 and largely hovered at under $2 million, the highest was $5.6 million for a carriage house in Cobble Hill.

Which would you choose?

10. In Sunset Park on 51st Street, there’s a semi-detached three-story brownstone, which the listing describes as “a masterpiece.” Twenty feet wide, the house has an upper duplex, with three bedrooms and three full baths, and a garden rental, which is duplexed with a finished basement. The owner’s duplex has an open plan first floor, with recessed lighting, exposed brick accents, mod light fixtures, a kitchen with an island and copious white cabinetry, and a paneled-glass rear wall leading out to a steel-railed deck.

9. Here’s a gut renovated 1870s Bed Stuy brownstone that’s not a flip — or doesn’t appear to be at least. If it is, the house — at 231 MacDonough Street, in the Stuyvesant Heights Historic District — is a good bit more attractive and thoughtfully done than average. It’s got a modern feel, with an open plan parlor floor, contemporary light fixtures and glass rear wall, but with a few original details blended in, including a marble fireplace mantel and newel post and banister.

6. This 19th-century Crown Heights frame house is spacious, well maintained and appears to be in move-in shape. At 994 Bergen Street, it is a two-family now being used as a single residence, on an extra-deep lot, with an 88-foot garden. There are some original details intact, including marble mantels, plaster medallions, the banister, stained glass and crown moldings.

5. Next stop is East 92nd Street in Brownsville, a good hike from the nearest train, where we find a small single-family brick house with a front driveway and a front porch with a canopy. The kitchen and bathroom are “recently updated,” according to the listing; oddly, there’s a second kitchen pictured, which has not been on the receiving end of any recent updating. There are four bedrooms, two on the ground floor, which doesn’t seem to have windows in front.

4. On 7th Street in Gowanus, we’ve got a three-story brick house that’s 16.5 feet wide, with 1,921 square feet of interior space. A past renovation opened up the bottom two floors; the first has a kitchen in the rear while the second floor is just open space, with a floor-through apartment above. It’s a likely candidate for an overhaul, and the listing says architectural plans are on offer. It’s got a smattering of original details, including tin ceilings, newel post and mantels.

3. In Bed Stuy we have a flip with a bit of an industrial feel. It’s a three-story, with a one-bedroom garden rental and a three-bedroom upper duplex, with an open plan parlor floor with a floating staircase. It’s gut renovated — everything’s new, including kitchens and baths. There’s exposed brick, a trio of skylights, a rear deck, and a finished basement with a tiled floor and a separate rear entrance.

2. This Park Slope classic six co-op has high ceilings, great light, generous spaces and an elegant prewar feel. It’s on the second floor at 305 8th Avenue, at the corner of 3rd Street, a block from Prospect Park. The living room and dining room are large and grand, with original moldings, parquet floors and big windows overlooking 8th Avenue. There’s a good sized foyer and a trio of hall closets up front.

1. Another flip is in store on Adler Place in Cypress Hills, a block-long street that sits by the elevated J/Z tracks. This one’s a one-family, 20 feet wide and 36 feet deep, with two stories and a finished basement. The first floor is open plan, the second holds three bedrooms (if you count a windowless one with a skylight). There’s a back yard, a small porch in front and central a/c.
