This 853-square-foot co-op on 67th Road in Forest Hills (hometown of the Ramones) used to be listed for $20,000 more. But after only a few weeks on the market, the asking price has been hacked down to $259,000, according to Streeteasy.com. It sounds like the owners are motivated, which could mean even more wiggle room for you. All the crucial renovations — kitchen and bath — have been taken care of, and the unit comes with storage that rents for just $47 a month. (There's parking, but you'll have to get on a wait list to nab a spot.) At $410, the monthly maintenance is low, too. —S. Jhoanna Robledo
