Having a hard time finding a new condo with a separate dining room in New York City? Here's are the neighborhoods and buildings where you can find one.

Architect Richard Alan Goodstein explains how he'd update this 900-square-foot Upper East Side starter apartment.

This recently renovated Midtown studio has a separate sleeping alcove, a dining room, and a pantry. It’s listed for $485,000.

Buying a NYC apartment in estate condition means that you can probably buy a larger apartment or get something in a building or neighborhood that you most likely couldn’t afford otherwise.

Architect Mark Holmquist describes what he'd do to revamp this Bay Ridge fixer-upper, including adding closets to the bedroom and reconfiguring the kitchen. 

This Clinton Hill studio, 95 Lexington Ave., #1A, has a separate sleeping area, a fireplace, central HVAC, storage, and a one-and-a-half bathrooms and lots of other extras, but it's pricey compared to other apartments in the neighborhood.
