There are certain suburban houses that make us feel sad about our apartments/question what we're doing in this city. This four-bedroom, three-bath colonial in Bridgewater, Connecticut listed with Klemm Real Estate is one of those. The place has a media room! We're not even sure what that means. And the house is on over an acre of land.

Plus, it's $699,000—about $165,000 less than the average Manhattan one-bedroom. 

What if your high-end New York City staycation lasted forever? It can, apparently, as long as you've got $12.8 million (and you only need to put 10 percent down!).

This two-bedroom, three-bath apartment that's nearly 1,700 square feet is located on the 65th floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel & Residences, and has floor-to-ceiling windows just about everywhere, so imagine the everyday views of the Hudson and Central Park.

We've always been jealous of our friends and families with backyards where they can actually grow their own produce. But a new startup is looking to make it easier for green-thumbed apartment-dwellers to make like farmers, regardless of the season.

Sign we may have looked at too many teeny tiny apartments in our time: We really appreciate the fact that this Park Slope apartment is listed as a studio rather than a one-bedroom, despite the fact that there's a door separating the bed and living room space. (Can you tell how often we've encountered brokers who'd try to get away with calling a space like this a one-bedroom?)
