Let’s go house hunting for under $1 million. On the itinerary: a Southampton cottage with beach rights, a renovated Manhattan two-bedroom in an Emery Roth-designed building, a North Palm Beach home with its own 50-foot boat slip, a Connecticut Colonial on half an acre, and a Garrison retreat with a pool and koi pond.
Five homes, five very different lifestyles, and not a seven-figure price tag in sight.

Listed at $700,000, this three-bedroom brick ranch in Continental Village pairs light-filled interiors with a standout outdoor setting.

Listed at $845,000, this two-bedroom home in North Palm Beach puts boating front and center, with a 50-foot boat slip and 25,000-pound lift included in the sale. Set in the gated waterfront community of Twelve Oaks, it also features vaulted ceilings, a bright Florida room and a private patio, with access to a marina, four pools, tennis courts and pickleball.

Listed at $998,000, this classic shingle cottage in North Sea, Southampton, dates back to the mid-1930s and comes with Peconic Beach rights and two levels of decking positioned to catch the bay’s glow. Inside, the layout includes an enclosed front porch, a great room with a central woodstove and a reading alcove, plus a spiral staircase leading to a private, skylit primary suite with its own lounge area and deck.

Listed at $999,000, this updated Colonial offers roughly 2,710 square feet on a rare, level 0.52-acre lot in one of Norwalk’s most sought-after neighborhoods. The gourmet open kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartzite countertops and a large breakfast bar, while three upstairs bedrooms, a flexible first-floor room and a finished walkout lower level make the layout especially versatile.

Listed at $895,000, this sun-filled, renovated two-bedroom at The Whitby pairs high-floor skyline views with classic 1920s details, including high beamed ceilings and refinished original oak floors. Designed by Emery Roth, the full-service building has a colorful history tied to Doris Day, George Burns and Al Capone, plus a spectacular roof deck with 360-degree open city views.
