If you're yearning to upgrade from a studio or one-bedroom but wary about how a move deeper into an outer borough might affect your commute to Midtown, this Woodside, Queens co-op might be for you. The two bedroom, one bath at 64-09 39th Ave. is listed at $365,000 with a maintenance fee of $496. 

The prewar apartment features big windows, hardwood floors and a master bedroom big enough to fit a king-sized bed, according to the listing. The other bedroom is on the opposite side of the apartment, which is a plus for those concerned about privacy. 

The petite but functional kitchen is outfitted with a small breakfast bar (as well as an unusual— we're guessing faux wood—range hood), and the bathroom sports a bold white and deep teal color scheme that may not be for everyone.

Building amenities include a laundry room, a recreation area, a storage room, and a bike room, and the closest transit option, the 61st Street express stop on the 7, is three blocks away. It will get you to Midtown in under a half-hour if all goes well. The LIRR Woodside station is also close by. For all of life's essentials, the main drag of Roosevelt Avenue is around the corner.
